About Rebecca

Rebecca Sutherland is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. She works with individuals who are dealing with family conflict, addiction, parenting strain or the emotional fallout from separation and loss. Rebecca aims to offer calm, steady support so people can make practical changes in their lives.

Her background includes long-term work at a rape crisis centre, where she provided one-to-one therapeutic support for victims of rape and adult survivors of child sexual abuse.

Background and approach

She also worked in an alcohol residential rehabilitation unit, delivering psychodynamic counselling and co-facilitating personal development groups. That mix of frontline settings shaped a practice that combines practical help with careful listening. Rebecca draws on client-centred methods to prioritise each person’s experience, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present life.

She also uses systemic thinking to consider relationships and family dynamics when those are relevant. Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered online through a mix of video calls, phone work, live chat and text-based messaging.

Rebecca aims to make therapy fit into busy lives and to adapt the pace and format to what feels most helpful. She focuses on building trust, exploring difficult material safely, and supporting people as they work towards clearer choices. People who choose Rebecca can expect straightforward, compassionate care.

She supports those affected by sexual assault and domestic abuse, self-harm and addiction, post-traumatic stress, grief, abandonment and issues around intimacy and self-worth. Her practice is shaped by respect, sensitivity and a goal of helping people regain control of their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rebecca combines client-centred work and psychodynamic thinking to shape online sessions that focus on the person and their story. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and aims to create a respectful, listening space where people can explore their feelings and choices. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at repeated patterns and past relationships to help make sense of current difficulties and reduce their hold on daily life. Systemic Therapy considers how relationships and family dynamics influence problems and can be used when the wider relational picture is important.

Choosing the right approach is a joint task. Rebecca will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. She reviews progress with you and adjusts the focus or methods as things change, so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and treatment. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when that matters, phone sessions are useful for lower bandwidth or when a shorter check-in suits, and live chat or text-based messaging can be easier to fit into a busy day or to express things in writing. These formats make it simpler to access therapy across locations and to maintain continuity of support.
