Rebecca brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She pays attention to cultural context and the specific needs that come with intellectual disability or autism and Asperger syndrome. This helps her tailor conversations and interventions so they fit each person's situation.

She encourages small, manageable steps that build resilience over time. Her approach is steady and direct, with an emphasis on helping people practice new ways of coping.
People who choose Rebecca can expect a supportive space to talk about loss, hospice and end-of-life worries, or struggles with self-harm and self-love. She aims to help clients leave sessions with a clearer next step and something concrete to try between meetings.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
Rebecca describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage strong emotions and change long-standing patterns. One common approach focuses on building self-compassion and concrete coping skills to reduce anxiety and panic; this involves learning short strategies to calm the body and reframe anxious thoughts. Another helpful strand targets attachment and communication patterns by practicing new ways to express needs and set boundaries, which can ease loneliness and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will listen to your goals and preferences and try methods that match what you want to achieve. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan together so therapy stays relevant to day-to-day life.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during life transitions. It also lets people try different session rhythms and find what best supports steady progress without disrupting routines.
