About Rebecca
Rebecca Garside is a counsellor who helps people with relationship strain, parenting challenges, family problems and coping with major life changes. She is an ally of the LGBT community and offers a calm, person-centred way of working. Rebecca draws on 13 years of experience to guide people through loss, identity questions and difficult transitions.
Her style is gentle and practical. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual. Rebecca listens without judgement and helps clients find clearer choices. She encourages small, manageable steps that fit daily life.
She has many years' experience supporting people affected by the care system. This includes conversations about adoption, foster care and identity linked to birth families. Rebecca also works with parents facing the emotional shifts when children leave home and with people managing later-life changes such as menopause.
People contact her about grief, abandonment, blended family issues, communication problems and relationship breakdown. She also has experience with addiction, eating-related concerns and body image. Her approach aims to make distress easier to talk about and less overwhelming over time.
Rebecca trained as a person-centred counsellor and uses that approach to keep the client at the centre of each session. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Prospective clients can try an initial meeting to see if the relationship feels right before committing to more sessions.
How Client-Centred Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client's pace. This approach helps when people want to make sense of identity, relationship strain or life transitions because it centres what matters to the individual.Working online can still use person-centred principles. Sessions focus on the client's goals and feelings, while the counsellor offers empathy and space to consider options. This collaborative process helps clients decide what changes they want and how to try them out in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, preferences and goals, and together they will decide how to proceed. That conversation includes checking how sessions fit into routines and what pace feels manageable.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, keep check-ins shorter when needed, avoid travel, and work around different time zones for international clients. These practical benefits can help therapy slot into ordinary life while you focus on the topics that brought you to counselling.
