Rebecca Garside

Rebecca Garside is a person-centred counsellor who focuses on women's issues along with relationship and parenting concerns. She supports people facing life changes, identity questions, and challenges such as grief or emptiness. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people find direction and feel heard.

Beck uses person-centred, or client-centred, methods that keep the conversation focused on the client's experience. Sessions are led by what matters to the person in the room. This means time is spent listening, reflecting, and helping someone notice choices and next steps.

She has 13 years of experience working across many ages, from teens through to older adults. That work has included supporting people who experienced the care system, adoption and foster care issues, and identity questions related to birth families. She also helps people dealing with body image, eating difficulties, and addiction-related concerns.

Rebecca is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and talks through coming out and exploration of sexual and gender identity when people want that support. She also helps with common relationship struggles such as communication, commitment worries, divorce and separation, and blended family problems.

She has supported parents through empty nest transitions and later-life emotional changes, including those linked to menopause. Her style is calm and collaborative; she seeks to help people make practical changes and cope better with everyday pressures.

To begin, she asks people to consider whether her style feels like a fit. The initial steps include a short matching questionnaire and scheduling, so practical arrangements match the person’s needs.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Rebecca works using a client-centred approach, which means the focus is on the person's own priorities. In practice this involves listening closely, reflecting back what she hears, and helping people find their own next steps. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, identity questions, grief, and coping with major life changes.

Client-centred work aims to create space for people to talk through what matters most to them. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to work together. She treats this as a collaboration so the way therapy proceeds can shift to suit the person's needs.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep appointments from different locations or to arrange sessions around work and family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to help people maintain continuity of care when face-to-face meetings are difficult.
