Rebecca Mcintosh, BACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a Person-Centred therapist based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain, helping them to untangle intense emotions and find clearer ways to move forward. Her practice emphasises tailoring each session to an individual’s needs so therapy fits the person rather than forcing the person to fit a particular model.

Rebecca holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Over the years she has supported a wide range of clients, including neurodivergent and disabled people, and has developed specific experience working with people affected by cancer during her time at Cancer Support. She works with both individuals and couples and brings that practical experience to sessions focused on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, trauma, ADHD, and changes in life circumstances.

In session she aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and personal space where people can speak openly. Rebecca values the courage it takes to ask for help and works collaboratively to support transformation and practical steps toward a more manageable and meaningful life.

How Rebecca's Approaches Work Online

Rebecca blends Client-Centered Therapy and Trauma-Focused and Mindfulness approaches to support people in accessible online formats. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s lead - this approach helps when someone needs space to explore feelings and make sense of personal struggles. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breath-based practices to help manage overwhelming emotions and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood regulation. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced, supportive way and can help people affected by abuse, loss, or overwhelming events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work itself. Rebecca, as a registered professional, collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes her practice flexible and accessible. These options allow clients to engage in ways that suit their schedules and communication styles, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
