Rebecca Mcintosh, BACP

Rebecca Mcintosh is a counsellor who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming or stuck. She uses a gentle, person-centred way of working to listen and help clients make sense of their feelings. Rebecca aims to give people clarity and practical steps so they can move forward at their own pace.

Her practice is based on 12 years of experience. She has supported people through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and midlife changes. She has also worked with neurodivergent and disabled clients and gained experience supporting people affected by cancer during her time at Cancer Support.

Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Rebecca favours straightforward conversation and reflective listening to help clients notice patterns and find small, doable changes. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when they fit the person’s goals.

People often come for help with stress, low self-esteem, anger or difficulties with intimacy and communication. Rebecca also offers care around trauma-related issues and addiction concerns, working at a pace that feels manageable.

Her approach is practical and warm. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and consider next steps. If someone wants to explore change, Rebecca supports that process with respect and steady attention.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online and in sessions

Rebecca draws on client-centred practice, which means the conversation centres on the person’s experience and goals. The therapist listens closely and reflects what matters to help clients make sense of their feelings and choices.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people build simple ways to notice stress and reduce reactivity. These are short, practical exercises that support focus and calm during busy days. Solution-focused work is used to identify small, realistic steps a person can try between sessions to test what helps and what doesn’t.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Rebecca will discuss options with each person and decide together which approaches match their needs, aims and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online or remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It can also let people use audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or they prefer not to be on camera.
