About Rebecca
Rebecca Briggs is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She works with worries about trauma, abuse, anger and career strain. She also supports people facing life changes and compassion fatigue.
Rebecca holds the NCPS credential and has six years of experience in the UK. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She aims to make sessions a calm space where thoughts and feelings are spoken about without judgement.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on practical steps they can try between sessions. Rebecca draws on Narrative ideas to look at how problems are described and understood. She uses Attachment-based and Client-centred ways of working to build trust and explore relationships that shape a person’s sense of self.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to notice patterns and try small experiments in day-to-day life. Sessions are paced to each person. Rebecca listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals together.
She encourages skill-building for managing strong emotions, handling grief, and coping with workplace stress. People who come to Rebecca often want straightforward help and a steady ally while they work through tough moments. She offers a warm, practical style that aims to make changes feel achievable rather than overwhelming.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Rebecca directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems; this can make worries feel less defining and open up new possibilities for action. Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape emotions and behaviours, and it helps people notice patterns that affect their connections with others. Client-centred practice keeps the conversation centred on the person’s priorities, offering listening and reflection so they feel heard and understood.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try ways of working together that fit the person’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, reflective notes between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, carers’ duties or travel, and let people pick the format that helps them engage most effectively.
