Rebecca Lazaro, BACP

Rebecca Lazaro is a person-centred therapeutic counsellor who supports people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related concerns. She approaches each person as an individual shaped by their experiences and focuses on helping clients make sense of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours so they can move toward a more authentic, self-directed life.

In sessions Rebecca listens without judgement and offers empathy and acceptance to help clients explore difficult emotions and life situations. She encourages clients to set the pace and direct the content of their work, while gently highlighting patterns, beliefs and emotional themes that may be influencing current difficulties. This collaborative stance aims to empower clients to discover and try out solutions that fit their lives.

Rebecca integrates learning from a range of trainings to support clients where needed. Her qualifications include a BA (Hons) in Psychology, a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and further certificates in areas such as Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples, Trauma-Informed Practice, Somatic Therapy for Complex Trauma, Family and Relationship Therapy, and Addiction and Co-dependence. She is a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which denotes professional recognition within the field.

Prior roles have involved supporting adults and young people across clinical and residential settings, including work with depression, anxiety, PTSD and complex trauma, psychosis, personality disorders, self-harm, eating disorders and addiction recovery. Rebecca is mixed race and a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and she brings that lived experience to her affirming, respectful practice.

Person-Centred and Attachment-Informed Online Therapy

Client-centred (person-centred) therapy focuses on the therapeutic relationship, offering empathy, acceptance and non-directive support so clients can explore their feelings and develop greater self-understanding. It is often helpful for people working through stress, low mood, relationship issues and the desire to build confidence and self-direction.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It can help clients recognise recurring dynamics, understand attachment needs, and build more secure ways of relating to others.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify, express and shift painful emotional patterns, and is useful for both individual emotional processing and couple work where deeper emotional connection is a goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the style of work as understanding grows.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. These options allow registered professionals to provide consistent, accessible support and make it simpler to maintain therapeutic continuity even when schedules or locations change.
