Rebecca Bennett , BACP

Rebecca Bennett is a qualified person-centred counsellor with eight years of professional experience, and she combines that foundation with further training in trauma-focused work. She practices in the United Kingdom and is associated with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and therapists. Rebecca currently works as one of the therapists for an organisation that provides specialist counselling services for victims of sexual and domestic violence.

Rebecca offers a warm, non-judgmental space where people can speak openly and feel genuinely heard. She believes that when a trusting connection is present, growth and healing are more likely to follow. Her style is welcoming and supportive, focused on understanding each person as an individual rather than fitting them into a one-size-fits-all model.

Working in an integrated way, Rebecca draws on her additional learning to tailor interventions to each client. For those who have experienced trauma she prioritises stabilising supports and mapping out a reliable network, then introduces practical techniques as appropriate to help manage emotions and triggers. These tools can include psychoeducation and exercises informed by cognitive behavioural approaches and polyvagal theory, selected to suit the client’s needs and pace.

Rebecca aims to collaborate with people to build safety, stability and coping skills, guiding each person toward greater clarity and self-compassion during difficult life transitions and recovery from trauma.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rebecca uses a client-centred approach that emphasises empathy, respect and the therapeutic relationship. This method focuses on providing a listening, non-directive space where clients lead the pace and topics of sessions - it can be especially helpful for people seeking validation, clarity and support during life changes or relationship difficulties.

Rebecca also draws on trauma-focused therapy to help people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events. Trauma-focused work aims to build stability and safety first, then gently address responses to trauma through tailored techniques that reduce distress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore options and adapt methods over time to find the most helpful path.

Online therapy with Rebecca can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for those balancing work, family or geographical constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate practical exercises into daily life while working with a licensed professional.
