Rebecca Gomperts, BACP

Rebecca Gomperts works from a person-centred approach that aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She focuses on addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and rebuilding self-esteem. Rebecca speaks plainly, listens closely, and adapts sessions to what each person needs most.

She tailors the pace and the topics to the individual. Conversations may cover feelings of abandonment, control issues, guilt and shame, or loneliness. She also supports people thinking about forgiveness, life purpose and self-love, helping them find small, usable steps forward.

Rebecca trained in the UK and holds a BA in Counselling from Sheffield Hallam University. She graduated with a first-class degree in 2024 and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She is continuing study with an MSc in The Psychology of Coercive Control at the University of Salford.

In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working alongside existential and mindfulness ideas. She may also use motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons to change. The work aims to be collaborative, simple and focused on real-life problems.

The first step often feels hard, and Rebecca offers calm, direct support while people think things through. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before arranging a session.

How her approaches fit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful, non-judgemental listening so people can speak freely about what matters to them; it helps with building self-esteem and making clearer choices. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility and life direction, which can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about purpose. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and manage difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss what feels most helpful and try different ways of working so the client can choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so arrangements fit daily life. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, and it can reduce the need to commute. Some formats may be quicker for short check-ins, while others allow longer conversations and the use of mindfulness exercises during the session. Always check the available options and schedule to find what suits practical needs and comfort.
