Rebecca Bennett, BACP

Rebecca Bennett offers support to people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or in need of a patient listener. She is a qualified person-centred counsellor with additional training in trauma-focused therapy and she brings eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Rebecca also works as one of the therapists for an organisation that provides a specialist counselling service for victims of sexual and domestic violence.

Her practice emphasises a kind, welcoming environment where clients can speak openly without judgement. Rebecca believes that when people experience genuine connection and an accepting presence, opportunities for healing and personal growth become possible.

Working in an integrated way, Rebecca blends her person-centred foundation with trauma-informed methods to suit individual needs. When trauma is part of a person’s history, she collaborates with clients to map out supports and to strengthen a sense of stability. When appropriate, she introduces practical skills and psycho-education to help manage emotions and triggers.

Those techniques may include exercises grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy and concepts from Polyvagal theory, all adapted to the client’s pace and goals. Rebecca holds BACP membership - this indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body - and she applies her training to create a steady, compassionate space for people navigating difficult life experiences.
