About Rebecca

Rebecca Hird offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and addictions. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and works with people to talk through what matters to them.

Sessions are usually once weekly and can be short or long term depending on the person's needs. Rebecca listens without giving direct advice and helps people reflect on their thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Talking things through together can make situations feel clearer and help identify small steps forward. She keeps the conversation open so clients can bring whatever is on their mind each week. Her work tends to follow psychodynamic principles, which look at patterns in feelings and relationships that may be affecting current life.

There is not a fixed step-by-step plan; instead sessions offer a fluid space to focus on what feels important at the time. Homework is not usually set, though it can be discussed if it would help. Rebecca offers a calm, patient style and will work with each person to decide whether short or longer term work is the right choice.

She explains the psychodynamic approach when asked and encourages questions about how therapy might help. The aim is to create a steady process for understanding and change. People who want flexible session formats can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.

International clients may be supported in English and practical arrangements are agreed when booking.

Ways of working Rebecca names

Psychodynamic Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Psychodynamic insight and online therapy options

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns in feelings, relationships and behaviour that repeat over time. It helps people understand how past experiences may shape current reactions and emotional responses, which can be useful for issues like relationship problems, low mood or trauma-related symptoms.

Rebecca offers a reflective, listening-driven approach that aims to help clients notice recurring themes and make different choices. She and the client work together to decide whether shorter focused work or longer exploration feels most helpful, tailoring the pace to the person's needs and goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat sessions suit quick check-ins or people who find writing easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel and allow people to choose the way they feel most comfortable communicating.

If someone is unsure which approach or format will suit them, Rebecca will help figure out the best fit during initial conversations. Finding the right method is part of the process and is decided collaboratively based on the person's concerns, goals and preferences.
