Rebecca McintoshBACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of practice and aims to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Rebecca writes and listens plainly so clients can find some breathing room and clearer direction.

Her approach centres on adapting sessions to each person's needs. She uses person-centred ways of working that place the clients experience at the heart of the conversation. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage strong feelings and stay present. Solution-focused ideas are used to spot practical next steps between sessions.

Rebecca has worked with neurodivergent and disabled people and spent several years supporting people affected by cancer while at Cancer Support. Those roles shaped her experience of long-term conditions, care stress and adjustment to life changes.

Sessions are described as non-judgemental and compassionate, giving space to unpack emotions and think through options. She also notes experience with trauma-related issues and can use trauma-informed ways of working where needed.

People often come for help with grief, low mood, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD, intimacy and communication problems, and managing anger. Rebecca aims to collaborate on goals and practical steps so people can move toward clearer routines and steadier days.

How Rebecca's approaches work in online therapy

Rebecca uses person-centred practice to prioritise the client's perspective, helping people feel heard and guiding sessions by what matters most to them. This approach suits conversations about relationships, self-esteem and emotional overwhelm.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to build simple ways of noticing thoughts and calming intense feelings, and on solution-focused methods to identify small, practical steps that can be tried between sessions. These approaches can help with stress, anxiety, coping after loss, and managing mood changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options openly and decide together with the client which methods feel helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning can be reviewed as work continues.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Others appreciate techniques that can be practised between meetings to build steady routines and calm in daily life.
