About Rebecca
Rebecca Garside is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 13 years of practice. She works with adults on family and parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, LGBT issues and coping with life changes. Rebecca also supports people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and problems linked to family of origin.
Rebecca uses a person-centred style. Sessions aim to be straightforward and conversational. She listens and helps people clarify what matters to them. Practical next steps and small changes are talked through together.
Her work has included long experience with people affected by the care system. Rebecca has supported those exploring identity related to birth families and foster care, and people who have navigated grief and loss. She also helps people facing divorce, separation and the emotional impacts of parenting transitions such as an empty nest.
Rebecca is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and can discuss coming out, sexual identity and gender identity concerns. She has worked with adults at different life stages, including issues that can emerge in midlife and later years.
Sessions are aimed at helping individuals understand patterns, improve communication and manage change. Rebecca encourages clients to set practical goals and to review progress. She invites a first conversation to see if the working relationship feels right for both parties.
How sessions work
How her person-centred approach works online
Rebecca’s main approach is client-centred therapy. This means sessions focus on listening carefully to what matters to you and helping you find your own solutions. It often helps with relationship stresses, parenting strain and life transitions by making space to clarify feelings and choices.She also draws on plain conversational work that looks at practical changes. That work focuses on communication, small behavioural steps and reviewing what helps in day-to-day life. It is useful for dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment and changes after separation or bereavement.
Finding the right approach is something to agree together. The therapist will help you decide which way of working fits your needs, goals and preferences, and will review how things are going as sessions continue.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow conversations across borders so international clients can work with her when arrangements suit both parties.
