Rebecca Bennett, BACP

Rebecca Bennett offers a warm, person-centred way of working that aims to help people feel heard and understood. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. Rebecca creates a calm space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, relationship worries, trauma and depression.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy as her foundation, and combines it with trauma-focused work when needed. That means sessions focus on the person's own goals and pace, while also addressing the impact of traumatic experiences. She tailors techniques to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

In practice Rebecca supports people who are coping with major life changes, divorce and separation, and the emotional aftermath of domestic violence. She also works with issues such as guilt, shame, life purpose and building self-love. Her experience includes work in a specialist counselling service for victims of sexual and domestic violence.

When trauma is part of the picture, she helps people build stability and cope with triggers. This can include practical exercises, straightforward psycho-education, and grounding tools drawn from different approaches. The emphasis is on manageable steps and on pacing the work to what feels right for the individual.

Rebecca encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready. She aims to be compassionate and non-judgemental, listening carefully before agreeing a way forward that fits each person's needs.

How client-centred and trauma-focused work translates online

Rebecca’s practice combines Client-Centred Therapy with trauma-focused work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s own goals, helping them feel understood and able to make changes at their own pace. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic experiences and on building stability, with practical steps to manage triggers and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Rebecca works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will check in regularly and adjust techniques so the work feels manageable and relevant.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. It also lets people access a therapist who has specialist experience with trauma without needing to change location. Registered or accredited professionals can use practical exercises and psycho-education just as in face-to-face work, and Rebecca adapts these tools to suit each person’s routine and needs.
