Rebecca Mcintosh, BACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a counsellor who helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of their next step. She is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of practice and aims to give clients clearer thinking and extra space to work through difficult feelings.

Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working, listening carefully and matching sessions to what each person needs. She focuses on practical support so people can make changes that matter to them. She will help you name priorities and try small steps that can make daily life easier.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, coping with life changes, ADHD, trauma and abuse, depression and bipolar. She also gives attention to issues including attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and addiction-related difficulties.

Rebecca has worked with neurodivergent and disabled people and spent several years supporting people living with cancer through Cancer Support. That background shapes how she adapts sessions to individual needs and some practical life challenges.

She meets people individually and with their partners when requested. Sessions are described as non-judgemental and compassionate, with a focus on helping people feel more like themselves again.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online and in practice

Rebecca uses a person-centred approach which focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the individual. This method helps people feel heard and supports them to clarify goals and priorities.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce anxiety and increase present-moment awareness, and solution-focused ideas to identify small, achievable steps that move a person towards their goals. Mindfulness can help calm strong emotions, while solution-focused work helps with practical problem-solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match the client's needs, goals and preferences, so people take part in choosing what feels most useful.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, health appointments or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. Registered or accredited professionals can use conversations online to help with stress, grief, relationship concerns and trauma-related work, adapting exercises and pacing to each person's situation.
