About

About Rebecca

Rebecca Bayliss is a counsellor who uses person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of difficult feelings. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on four years' experience to support people through stress, anxiety, loss and trauma. Rebecca aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and be heard.

Her work focuses on reconnecting thoughts, emotions and bodily experience.

Background and approach

She encourages people to notice how physical symptoms and emotions link together, and to explore what those signals might be saying. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs, with time to reflect between themes. Rebecca commonly helps people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief and life changes.

She also works with issues around self-esteem, anger, body image and LGBT concerns, alongside trauma and abuse. Her additional focus areas include attachment difficulties, communication problems and feelings tied to guilt or shame. Her approach combines attachment-based thinking with a trauma-informed outlook.

That means she pays attention to early patterns and how they affect current relationships, while also addressing the impact of upsetting events. The aim is to build understanding and practical ways to cope, rather than quick fixes. Sessions are collaborative and guided by each person’s goals.

Rebecca supports people to notice unhelpful patterns, try gentle experiments in living differently, and find activities that bring more satisfaction. She encourages gradual change that fits everyday life.

Online support

How Rebecca's approaches translate to online work

Rebecca draws on attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused thinking to shape online therapy. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping people understand why they react as they do. Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to past upsetting events and supports gradual processing so those memories cause less disruption in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will try ways of working that fit each person's needs. This is collaborative, with adjustments made as understanding grows and priorities change.

Please check which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, make it simpler to avoid long journeys and reduce the need for time off. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, often use these practical benefits to help therapy slot into everyday life.
