Rebecca Hird, BACP

Rebecca Hird is a UK-licensed psychodynamic counsellor with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse. She works from a listening stance, offering thoughtful reflection rather than direct advice, and helps clients explore their experiences, thoughts, and emotions so they can see situations differently and find clearer ways forward.

Her practice accommodates both short and long term therapy, and she offers once-weekly sessions that are intentionally open for clients to bring whatever feels most important. Rather than following a rigid step-by-step plan, Rebecca creates a fluid therapeutic space where the focus can shift as needs evolve. She does not frequently set homework, but will discuss between-session goals when clients feel that would be helpful.

Rebecca holds the BACP credential. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and indicates membership of a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She is experienced in a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, and mood and personality difficulties, and she welcomes clients from the UK and internationally.

Psychodynamic Care Online - Thoughtful, Accessible Support

Rebecca works primarily from a psychodynamic framework, a therapeutic approach that explores how early relationships, unconscious patterns, and past experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. Psychodynamic work helps people understand recurring emotional reactions, relationship difficulties, and issues rooted in past trauma or attachment concerns by gently bringing those patterns into awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to identify whether psychodynamic work fits their needs and goals, and she will discuss how therapy might be adapted over time. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they respond to the client rather than following a fixed formula.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered by registered professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for busy lives, enable access from different locations including international clients, and make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or study schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
