About Rebecca
Counsellor Rebecca Mcintosh is a BACP member with 12 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, coping with life changes, ADHD and trauma among other concerns. Sessions focus on helping people untangle strong emotions and find clearer ways to move forward.
Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working. That means conversations are guided by the client's concerns and pace. She listens for what matters most and responds with practical help and reflective questions. This often makes it easier to spot small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
She also uses solution-focused ideas to identify immediate goals and simple steps to try between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are introduced where helpful, such as grounding practices and short exercises to reduce rumination. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Over her career she has worked with neurodivergent and disabled people and with clients affected by cancer, drawing on experience from Cancer Support work. Rebecca works with individuals and couples and aims to adapt sessions to each person’s needs.
Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect clear, short-term aims alongside space to talk through more complex issues. The focus is on what can be changed now and what might need longer-term attention.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Rebecca often blends person-centred work with solution-focused and mindfulness techniques. Person-centred counselling puts the client's concerns at the centre and follows their pace. It suits people who need to talk through feelings and be heard without judgment. Solution-focused work sets small, practical goals and looks for useful changes to try between sessions. This can help when immediate relief or clearer steps are wanted. Mindfulness offers brief exercises and grounding practices to reduce rumination and bring attention back to the present.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client choose approaches together, based on what the client needs, their goals and what feels manageable. Rebecca will adapt techniques as sessions progress and will check in about what is working and what is not.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule a shorter check-in or to join from a quieter environment that suits the client. The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the exact online options available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can then agree the format that best fits everyday life and practical constraints.
