About me
Hi, I'm Rebecca. You might have experienced difficult or traumatic events, the loss of a loved one, or feel lost and unsure why life is leaving you confused and uncertain right now. You know something isn’t right. You've ignored your emotions and pretended you’re fine. Inside, feelings of sadness and overwhelm grow stronger. It can feel exhausting and lonely. Everything feels like too much, and you just want to escape. You keep putting others first, thinking it makes things easier, but deep down, you crave understanding and change. Fustration builds, and life feels like a constant challenge. You’ve lost control, feel uncertain about what’s next, and carry the weight of responsibility for everyone. Beneath it all, you lack confidence and direction, feeling lost in your goals and what truly matters to you. You feel scared, but it's scarier staying stuck... How Therapy Helps: You will restore self-confidence and trust in your decisions as you regain control and prioritise 'you'. The new tools and understanding will help you face challenges and reignite your motivation to feel joy and discover purpose. You will feel emotionally supported as you reconnect with life. If this sounds like you, contact me now and let’s get started. Testimonial - 'I want to thank you so much for your time, Rebecca. This hurt will always be with us, but you have taught me how to deal with it and breathe. Just listening to your voice and talking about everything was a big help...' Client feedback - grief support 'When I accept myself just as I am, then I change...' I provide both in-person and remote sessions through online platforms or by phone. In my private practice, I focus on helping individuals facing a variety of challenges, including, but not limited to, relationships, anxiety, depression and sadness, low self-esteem and confidence, life transitions, and loss of direction and motivation. As a long-term, experienced Cruse Bereavement counsellor, I have a special interest in supporting grief and loss. How therapy supported me— I've faced my own challenges in life, and when I felt stuck and overwhelmed, I leaned into therapy. It supported me, creating the calm to reconnect with myself during challenging times as I navigated a midlife career change, went through a divorce, faced health issues, and coped with the emotional toll that Parkinson's disease took on a parent, as well as my own late ADHD diagnosis. Therapy guided me through my experiences to accept the changes, reframe my thought process, and find a new sense of self and purpose. You're not alone in this—many of us are on similar journeys. ADHD and Therapy— drawing on my own lived experience of ADHD, I will guide you to recognise and understand how your unique experiences have shaped your identity and impacted your life as we unpack the highs and lows. Together, we will explore how ADHD shows up in your past and present by highlighting the challenges you’ve faced and any self-doubt tied to your sense of self as you begin to embrace and accept all aspects of who you are to live authentically. Book a free, no-obligation call to discuss how I can support you. No matter what you bring or are going through, I'm here to help you.

Fee structure
I'll ensure you feel relaxed and at ease, whether online via video, a call, or in-person. I'm available most weekdays and in the evenings. Session costs: £50 per 50-minute session. I offer some concessions. In-person sessions take place at The Roy Fletcher Centre in Shrewsbury. How to book a session or introductory call: You can book a session immediately, or we can talk together first to help you decide. Please use the contact form or call me to set up your first session or free introductory chat. I will get back to you as soon as possible, always within 24 hours. If I can't answer your call, please leave a voice message using your preferred contact method, and I'll get back to you. Introductory Call: I warmly invite you to arrange a getting-to-know-you call before you decide to begin therapy with me. This will be a relaxed conversation to help you see if my therapy approach feels right for you. Please feel free to take this step without any pressure to book a session afterwards. Online/Phone Therapy: Life can be busy and unpredictable. I can offer flexibility with online and call sessions to fit your schedule. You’re welcome to choose different days or times, whether weekly or every two weeks, to ensure you have the support you need when it's hard to commit to a regular slot. Concessions: I understand that the cost of therapy can be a significant concern for many people, and you are not alone in feeling this way. To help, I offer a range of concession rates individually; there are no set criteria to meet to ask for a concession except for making it affordable and accessible. I am happy to discuss this with you; please let me know if you’d like to consider this before you start therapy. I recognise that attending therapy in person can be challenging, particularly if health issues make it difficult to go out or if you prefer the comfort and privacy of a call. I'm here to offer understanding and support, ensuring you feel comfortable in a way that suits your needs. I look forward to welcoming you – and supporting you
