More about Rebeca
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am a UK-licensed, and BACP accredited therapist with over 8 years of experience supporting adults with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship issues, attachment patterns, low self-esteem, overthinking, burnout, and life transitions. I also work with clients dealing with people-pleasing, boundaries, emotional regulation, panic, grief, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences and past wounds on current wellbeing.
My therapeutic foundation is Humanistic Person-Centred Counselling, and I integrate CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. This trauma-informed, integrative, and strengths-based approach allows me to tailor your therapy experience so you get both emotional insight and practical coping skills.
I hold a Master’s in Health Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. My work centres on helping clients build self-worth, strengthen identity, understand triggers, challenge the inner critic, improve communication skills, and gain tools for stress management, motivation, resilience, and sustainable personal growth.
I also support clients living with chronic health conditions, exploring the emotional impact of diagnosis, fear, change, and self-esteem , helping you manage what cannot be changed and heal what can.
In our work together, we explore feelings, behaviours, and internal patterns with compassion and curiosity. We identify core issues, unhelpful beliefs, resilience factors, and the strengths you already hold. My aim is to help you feel more in control, grounded, and confident in navigating your life, relationships, and emotions.
I speak English and Portuguese and can offer sessions in either language.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

This was my first session with Rebecca. She quickly understood my issues and started to give me feedback. She showed empathy. I am looking forward to the next session.
Just an incredible Therapist. Makes you comfortable enough that you are delving deep and solving issues without really knowing you are doing so. I have worked with a number of therapists over the years, but she is honestly the sharpest I have ever had to privilege of meeting.
Rebecca is such a caring and considerate therapist, really makes you feel valued and listened to and is such an easy person to open up to. I feel very lucky to have Rebecca helping me.
Rebecca is a great therapist, she is compassionate and kind and made me feel very relaxed and at ease in our sessions.
Very professional therapist with an ability to communicate effectively and provide useful tools to deal with emotional situations and identify triggers.
She is amazing. Rebecca is just so intuitive and simply gets it. I've never felt so comfortable talking about my past with anyone else.
Rebeca is always caring, attentive and professional holding her hand I have discovered so many inner wounds and taken the way to heal them.
Rebeca has helped me with so much I’ve the last 18 months it’s impossible to summarise in a review! She is professional and caring and will always be on my side, understanding where I need help and listening to me on what my needs are. I would highly recommend, and I have done! My friend now has sessions with Rebeca on my recommendation.
She is the most wonderful human who has helped me through my toughest time. I could not speak higher of the support and abilities she’s given me to undertake tasks
Rebeca has been a driving force in multiple positive aspects of my life. She's helped me reduce my overall anxiety, accept love, understand how to communicate better, and stand up for myself. I've started therapy with 3+ different professionals in the past and ended after the first session because it just didn't feel actionable. Rebeca is actionable. Rebeca is kind. Rebeca is everything you'd look for in a therapist. Highly recommend.
Rebeca is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, insightful and very knowledgeable and supportive. Our sessions have transformed my life forever!
Rebeca has helped me make huge progress in all aspects of my life.
Very positive feedback
Rebeca always makes you feel prioritised and listened to. Opening up to her has been a lot easier then what I first feared, which has helped me a lot with my development these past few months. Anyone who is thinking of therapy will be lucky to have Rebeca as their therapist
Practically perfect in every way.
I’ve only had 2 sessions with her so far & I’ve absolutely loved it. We are able to get to the root of the issue and she’s extremely considerate yet truthful with her advice.
Rebeca fully understands my needs and addresses then with compassion and clarity. I always leave my sessions feeling heard and prepared to tackle things. I highly recommend her as a professional and as an individual! Thanks Rebeca!
Rebeca helped me a lot and asks the right questions.
Very understanding and easy to talk to !
Rebecca is very professional and empathetic. A great listener and very good at giving advice and diving deeper beneath the surface.
Rebeca is an excellent therapist! She is very professional and knowledgeable and I have learnt a lot about myself :)
Rebeca is a wonderful therapist that is able to listen carefully and offer important insights and moments of self-reflection. The sessions we had were eye-opening, full of honesty and brave conversations. These conversations made me understand myself a bit better, it was another step toward an improved appreciation of life.
With then first session, I knew Rebeca was the perfect match for me. She listened and understood me. Talking to her is easy and very helpful. I'm thankful for this match.
She’s helped me immensely in the short time we’ve been together. There for me at a moment notice and I’m so grateful for support and guidance in my matters. Happy to recommended her to anyone.
I love her
I have only been with her for 2 weeks and I already love her, she totally matches my needs, listens to me and respects me, she makes me see things in different perspectives and gives me guidance.
I feel I have gained a lot already with very few sessions with Rebeca. She is a very attentive and perceptive and quickly finds the right questions to ask from the often incoherent ramblings from my end. She is very caring and flexible in setting the time and mode of therapy depending on my convenience. The aspect I appreciate the most about her is that she has a very good understanding about the cultural differences and the associated struggle for identity. As a result, I don't have to spend too much time explaining the context and find that we are on the same page during the sessions. I would highly recommend Rebeca to anyone dealing with issues on which she has expertise such as stress, anxiety, relationships, depression and more.
Very understanding and compassionate. Has good expertise in her field.
Working with Rebeca has been amazing for me. It has been a really great experience and having this support has been really great and really eye opening for me. Sometimes the questions I have to answer are really difficult but that's what makes me really analyse and consider certain situations and overall it's a weight of my chest every time we have a discussion, whether that is over text or on a video call! Truly a great experience and I look forward to continuing working with her.
