Rebecca Bayliss

Rebecca Bayliss is a counsellor who uses person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make lasting change. She holds a Masters-level qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy and draws on that background when supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and anger. Rebecca aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings.

Her approach focuses on building a trusting relationship first. She listens to each person’s story and helps them connect thoughts, feelings and bodily experiences. This can make it easier to understand why certain reactions happen and what might help them shift over time.

Rebecca pays particular attention to past hurts and attachment patterns. She uses psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused methods to look at how earlier experiences influence present behaviour. This can be helpful for people dealing with trauma, grief, relationship problems and issues around abandonment or attachment.

She also works in a client-centred way, meaning sessions are led by what the person brings. Rebecca encourages practical exploration of emotions and everyday coping strategies. She believes small changes in how someone responds to stress, anger or shame can build into bigger improvements.

Over her four years of practice she has supported people with body image, parenting strain, codependency, communication and problems linked to separation and divorce. Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. If someone is unsure whether her way of working fits, she asks them to try an initial session and reflect on the fit together.

How her approaches work online and in conversation

Rebecca draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or who struggle with trust and closeness. She pairs this with psychodynamic thinking that pays attention to past experiences and how they show up now in feelings and behaviour.

She also uses a client-centred stance, which means sessions follow what the person brings and move at their pace. The therapist and client work together to choose which tools or lines of enquiry to try, making the way forward a collaborative decision rather than a fixed plan.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and help decide which way of working suits the person’s goals, needs and daily routine.
