Rebecca Garside, NCPS

Rebecca Garside is a client-centered counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting people through life changes, relationship challenges, and identity questions. She works with clients across the lifespan, from teenagers to older adults, and has particular experience helping those who have experienced grief, loss, or significant disruption in everyday life.

Rebecca has extensive experience with people who have been through the care system and with issues connected to birth families, adoption, and foster care. As an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, she offers a welcoming space to discuss coming out, sexual identity, and gender identity. She also supports couples and families with relationship and parenting concerns, including blended family dynamics and communication difficulties.

Rebecca has worked with parents adjusting to an empty nest and with later-life transitions such as the emotional impact of menopause. Her practice includes addressing abandonment, family of origin issues, eating and body image concerns, addiction, domestic violence, and other complex family problems. She adopts a person-centred approach that prioritises the client’s perspective and pace while fostering practical, sustainable change.

Rebecca is based in the United Kingdom, offers therapy in English, accepts international clients, and holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification.
