About Rebecca

Rebecca Garside is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years' experience. She works with people around LGBT concerns, relationships, family and parenting issues, and coping with life changes. Rebecca uses a person-centred approach and aims to help people find their own direction when life feels difficult.

She supports people facing grief, loss and major change. She has substantial experience with those who have lived in the care system and with issues connected to adoption, foster care and birth family identity. She also talks with people about coming out and exploring sexual and gender identity.

Rebecca works with parents adjusting to later life stages, including empty nest transitions and emotional changes around menopause. She also addresses relationship strains such as communication problems, commitment worries, separation and blended family tensions. Her practice covers additional concerns like addiction, eating and body-image issues, and feelings of emptiness related to family of origin problems.

In sessions she follows Client-Centred Therapy, focusing on listening and reflecting so clients can make their own choices. Meetings are conversational and paced to what each person needs. Rebecca emphasises supporting practical steps as well as talking through feelings.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Subscription fees vary by location and can be cancelled at any time. International clients are accepted, and sessions are offered in English.

How Client-Centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and responding to each person’s experience. In practice this means the counsellor reflects back what is said, helps clarify feelings, and follows the client’s pace. This approach can suit people working through identity questions, relationship strain or major life changes.

For issues linked to adoption, foster care or family of origin, a person-centred style gives space to talk about painful memories and practical next steps. The counsellor’s role is to support the client to name what matters and to decide on priorities for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide whether Client-Centred Therapy is the best fit. That decision is collaborative and may adapt as sessions progress.

The original biography does not list which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting people choose a quieter time of day. These practical benefits can help people sustain regular sessions without promising any specific outcome.
