Rebecca Foster , BACP

Rebecca Foster is a UK therapist with five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity and motivation concerns, self-esteem difficulties, and major life changes. She has a particular specialism in grief and bereavement and has undertaken extensive research in this area that is currently under review for publication.

Alongside direct work with individuals, Rebecca lectures in Counselling and Psychotherapy at university level. Her background includes work with looked after children, people who have experienced trauma, and individuals with learning disabilities, offering a breadth of experience with distressed and vulnerable populations.

Rebecca practises using an integrative approach, blending person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and principles from attachment theory to shape interventions to each person's needs. This flexible way of working moves away from a one-size-fits-all model and allows the therapeutic plan to be tailored to what matters most to the individual.

Her practice is grounded in values of acceptance, trustworthiness, understanding, openness, and a clear commitment to client progress. Rebecca believes therapy can support meaningful, lasting change and she is ready to offer support and empowerment to those who wish to begin that process. She holds the BACP credential, a professional counselling association membership.

Integrative Approaches for Effective Online Support

Rebecca Foster uses a small set of evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and helping the individual explore their feelings and values at their own pace - it is helpful for building self-esteem, clarity, and motivation. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, which can ease symptoms of anxiety and low mood. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be helpful for addressing relationship difficulties and patterns of trust and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively with people to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy with Rebecca can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or wherever is convenient, supporting consistent progress while fitting therapy into everyday life.
