About Rebecca
Rebecca Sanderson uses a person-centred approach at the heart of her work. She focuses on listening and understanding so people feel heard. Rebecca makes space for worries about parenting, stress, anxiety and life changes.
She holds a calm, steady presence to help people start talking and make small shifts. Rebecca has ten years of experience working with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, low self-worth and depression. She also supports people facing addictions, grief, sleep and eating issues, and relationship or family problems.
Background and approach
Her additional interests include adoption and foster care, body image and caregiver stress. Her way of working blends client-centred listening with practical techniques. Cognitive behavioural tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and build momentum. Trauma-focused methods are offered when past harm affects daily life. Psychodynamic ideas can be drawn on to look at repeating relationship patterns and where they come from.
These options are chosen together with each person, not imposed. Rebecca holds NCPS, which is recorded as her professional credential. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
The first steps are usually a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions that fit the person’s schedule. She aims to make the process straightforward and down to earth so worried parents can get practical support without extra jargon.

Therapeutic approaches that work online
Rebecca blends client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural techniques to provide practical, supportive online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people feel understood; it helps when someone needs a calm space to talk about parenting stresses or grief. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and routines, which can reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. Trauma-focused therapy is also available to address the effects of past harm and to develop coping strategies for flashbacks, dissociation or panic.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then try methods collaboratively. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, combining talking, practical exercises and short goal-setting tasks to match where someone is at.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when flexibility is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
