About Rebecca

Rebecca Briggs is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and motivation. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, anger, career shifts and coping with life changes.

Rebecca listens to what is happening now and asks practical questions about daily habits and thoughts. She uses straightforward techniques to spot patterns that make problems worse. Sessions focus on small experiments and new ways of responding rather than long explanations.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with attachment-informed ideas and client-centred listening. That means she looks at both how people think and how relationships shape feelings. She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when clients raise questions about meaning, loss or close relationships.

Rebecca aims to help people set clear, achievable goals. She works step by step, breaking larger problems into manageable tasks. Typical early work includes tracking thoughts, testing unhelpful assumptions and trying short behavioural changes to see what helps.

She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the UK. If someone wants to start, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. The structure is practical and goal-oriented, with regular reviews to check progress.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Rebecca often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviours. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, phobias and obsessive thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her work; it looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and coping, which can help with abandonment, jealousy and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. Sessions include short practical tasks and regular check-ins to see if an approach is helping, and adjustments are made together.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments that would otherwise require travel. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to apply brief exercises between meetings without disrupting daily routines.
