Rebecca Bayliss, BACP

Rebecca Bayliss holds a Masters-level qualification in Counselling and Psychotherapy and is registered with the BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She specialises in person-centred psychotherapy, working alongside people who are facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief and a range of other life challenges. Rebecca’s practice centres on creating a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings openly and be accepted for who they are.

She places significant emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, using that connection as the foundation for change and personal exploration. Rebecca supports clients to reconnect different aspects of themselves, noticing how emotions, thoughts and bodily sensations interact. She recognises that physical symptoms sometimes reflect unresolved emotions, and she works with clients to gently process those feelings rather than simply treating symptoms in isolation. While acknowledging that medication can have a role for some, Rebecca focuses on helping people release trapped emotions and discover meaningful activities that contribute to a more satisfying life. Her approach aims to help clients make choices that align with their values and unlock their potential.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rebecca Bayliss integrates client-centred therapy, psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused ways of working into her online practice. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, accepting relationship in which the client leads the pace of exploration and the therapist offers empathy and understanding - this approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with life changes. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that arise from past experiences and unconscious processes to help make sense of recurring feelings and behaviours, which can be useful for long-standing relationship and attachment issues. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing experiences and their emotional impact, supporting people who have experienced abuse, loss or other traumatic events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Rebecca works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors the work as the relationship develops and as new understanding emerges.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility; clients can meet by video call or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging when that format suits them better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while still working with registered professionals and therapists who can guide the process.
