About Rebecca
BACP. 4 years’ experience. Rebecca "Becca" Mather works with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, sleeping problems, anger, career questions, depression, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, ageing, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, body image, communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, eating-related issues, emptiness, family problems and fatherhood issues.
Becca describes a practical counselling style that aims to help people feel heard and understood. She uses client-centred methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions may include mindfulness work and options such as emotional freedom techniques when appropriate, but clients are never pressured into a particular method.
Her approach is conversational and down to earth. She talks through current thoughts and feelings, and helps people set small, manageable goals. She also supports parents and people experiencing pregnancy-related difficulties, including postnatal anxiety and postnatal depression, and those affected by hyperemesis gravidarum.
Becca draws on her own experience of personal therapy to inform how she works. She aims to help people regain energy, reduce anxiety and make day-to-day life more manageable. The focus is on practical steps that can change how someone copes with stress and difficult thoughts.
Sessions are provided in English and her practice is based in the United Kingdom. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches used for online counselling and what they involve
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that reflect what matters to the person and can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s experience and aims to offer a respectful, non-directive conversation. It can help people feel understood and make sense of their own choices and goals.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping. This can be useful for stress, sleep problems and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Decisions about techniques are made together, and clients are not required to try anything they do not want to.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not specify which are offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work between appointments using mindfulness exercises and solution-focused tasks suggested in sessions.
