Rebecca Bayliss , BACP

Rebecca Bayliss is a counsellor who works from a person-centred perspective. She uses conversations and compassionate listening to help people understand stressful feelings and big life changes. Rebecca aims to make sessions straightforward and supportive so people can speak openly about their thoughts and emotions.

Rebecca draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas alongside client-centred practice. She pays attention to how early relationships and life events shape current patterns. This helps when people struggle with anxiety, depression, or relationship and family problems.

Trauma-focused methods are part of her approach for those affected by abuse or traumatic events. She encourages people to notice how emotions show up in the body and to work through stuck feelings at a steady pace. Sessions often combine talking with attention to physical sensations and everyday coping steps.

Rebecca has four years' experience working in counselling and psychotherapy. She holds BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her work covers issues such as grief, parenting strain, body image and self-esteem, and concerns linked to LGBT identity.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Rebecca sees clients located in the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

How Rebecca's approaches work online

Rebecca uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early caregiving and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. This approach helps people spot repeating patterns that affect trust, intimacy and communication in their lives.

She also works in a client-centred way which means sessions focus on the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem and life transitions.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Rebecca will talk through different approaches with the client and together decide what feels most useful. That collaborative choice is revisited as needs and goals change over time.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video lets people use non-verbal cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and shape therapy around daily life.
