About Rebecca

Rebecca Barley Hawkins is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She meets people online, by phone and face to face to listen, reflect and help them sort through difficult feelings. Rebecca aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and begin to feel less alone.

Her work focuses on practical conversations about stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, low self-esteem, panic and social anxiety.

Background and approach

Rebecca helps clients untangle feelings around abandonment, guilt, isolation and life purpose as well. Sessions are person-led and non-directive, so clients choose what to bring and set the pace. Rebecca offers straightforward questions and reflections to help people notice patterns and make different choices.

She pays attention to how emotions, thoughts and behaviours link together in everyday life. Rebecca has experience working with both neurotypical and neurodivergent people. Over time she aims to help clients build self-trust and clearer boundaries so they can manage present challenges more confidently.

Her style is warm, accepting and steady, with an emphasis on honesty and respect. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions at times that suit them.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rebecca lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that help when working online

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the here and now and on making sense of difficult feelings. One common way she works is through guided conversation that helps people identify links between thoughts, feelings and actions; this helps with anxiety, panic and low mood by spotting patterns that keep problems going. She also uses trauma-informed listening to gently support people who have experienced abuse or overwhelming events, helping them to name feelings and develop safer ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca treats therapy as a collaborative process and will check in about what feels helpful. Together the client and counsellor decide what to try next, and adjustments are made as goals and needs become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
