Rebecca WardBACP

Rebecca Ward offers short, practical support for people facing pregnancy- and childbirth-related stress alongside many other life challenges. She is a BACP counsellor with five years of professional experience. Rebecca focuses on helping people feel heard and more able to make changes that matter to them.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what’s worrying them. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. Rebecca listens closely, helps unpack difficult feelings, and works with clients to set realistic steps forward.

Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, which means the person’s own needs guide the work. This style can suit people dealing with anxiety, low mood, relationship tension, grief, or changes around pregnancy and birth. It also applies to concerns such as sleep, eating, parenting, and career stress.

Rebecca draws on five years of practice to support people through transitions and relapses alike. She offers practical ideas for coping and encourages small, achievable changes. Sessions aim to build confidence, improve communication, and reduce the day-to-day strain that makes parenting or preparing for childbirth harder.

If someone wants to try talking things through with Rebecca they will be asked a few questions first. That helps match goals and decide how to structure sessions. The emphasis is always on collaborative problem solving and on helping the client feel more in control of their next steps.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person's needs and pace at the centre of each session. The approach focuses on listening without judgement, reflecting back what matters most and helping people make their own decisions. It can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and the stresses around pregnancy and childbirth.

In practice this looks like the counsellor following your lead, asking gentle questions and helping you name what feels important. The therapist and client work together to set goals and try out small changes between sessions. Over time the aim is to strengthen coping, confidence and clarity about next steps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit conversations into everyday life. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions to be scheduled around work, childcare or medical appointments. If you need sessions to be shorter, quieter or without video, confirm the available formats before booking so you can pick what best fits your routine. The therapist will help figure out which style and schedule suit your needs and preferences as part of the first steps together.
