Rebecca Hird , BACP

Rebecca Hird supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, addiction concerns, grief and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with eating difficulties, career pressure, depression and coping with life changes. Rebecca is named in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which means she is listed with that professional body.

She uses a psychodynamic approach and keeps sessions open and focused on what matters to each person. Rebecca listens, reflects and helps clients make sense of feelings and patterns in their lives. She does not give direct advice but will think things through alongside each client.

Sessions are typically weekly and can be short or longer term depending on what the client and therapist agree. Rebecca does not follow a rigid plan; instead she offers a flexible space to bring whatever is weighing on you. Homework is not usually set, though it can be discussed if it would be useful.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, control issues, domestic violence, substance issues, guilt and shame, infidelity and isolation. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, panic, personality-related difficulties, polyamory and post-traumatic stress.

Rebecca works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She aims to help people notice patterns, name difficult feelings and find clearer ways forward at a pace that suits them.

Psychodynamic work online and practical session options

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and relationship patterns shape present feelings and reactions. It involves talking through memories, dreams and repeated ways of relating to help make sense of current difficulties and to reduce emotional distress.

In sessions Rebecca offers a listening, reflective approach that helps people notice patterns and meanings beneath their day-to-day worries. The aim is to understand how earlier experiences influence current behaviour, which can be helpful for anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma responses and recurring mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options together and adapt the way she works to suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and checks in about the fit as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with her is available by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people who prefer typed communication or need to fit sessions around busy days. These options make it easier to work with a therapist across different locations and timetables.
