About Rebecca Rust-Ashford

Rebecca Rust-Ashford is an empathic, non-judgemental integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and challenges with self-esteem, and she offers additional support around issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment difficulties, chronic pain and illness, and related areas.

Her integrative training allows her to tailor the way she works to each individual's needs. She combines client-centered principles with Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR - a therapy that uses guided eye movements to process distressing memories) to address both current concerns and underlying trauma responses.

Rebecca holds the BACP credential, indicating membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she conducts sessions in English. She is currently accepting clients within the United Kingdom and does not work with international clients. Sessions are offered in multiple formats - including video calls, telephone sessions, live chat, and in-app messaging - so the structure of therapy can be adapted to what feels most helpful for each person.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Fit for You?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main advantages is its flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.

Licensed professionals offer these remote options, and individuals may switch therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy can make access to consistent therapeutic support more convenient while allowing therapists to use evidence-informed approaches adapted for remote work.
