Rebecca Mcintosh

Rebecca Mcintosh is a counsellor who helps people when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She offers a calm, listening presence and practical support to sort out heavy emotions. Her style aims to give clarity and space so people can make changes that matter to them.

Rebecca uses a person-centred approach, which means sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about and on their own priorities. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help people notice what helps and find small, realistic steps to try. When traumatic events are part of a person's story, trauma-focused methods are used to address those experiences carefully.

Over 12 years she has worked with a wide range of issues. These include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, bipolar and depression, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also has additional experience supporting people with attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Her background includes several years spent supporting people affected by cancer through work at Cancer Support. She has experience working with neurodivergent and disabled people and adapts her approach to each person's needs. Rebecca holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP.

Sessions are described as tailored to the individual. The focus is on listening without judgement, helping people make sense of their feelings, and identifying achievable changes they can try between meetings.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Rebecca draws on person-centred practice to centre the client's agenda, giving time to talk through what matters most. This helps with overwhelming emotions, relationship worries and decisions about next steps.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical and mental states in the moment, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing strong feelings such as anger. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, practical changes that can be tried between sessions to build momentum and confidence.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to the person's goals and preferences, trying different options where needed until a good fit is found.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements with the therapist when you book so sessions fit around everyday life.
