Rebecca Foster, BACP

Rebecca Foster is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people make sense of difficult times. She combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-informed thinking. Rebecca holds BACP accreditation and has five years of practice in the UK.

She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and bereavement, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She has carried out research into grief which is being reviewed for publication. Her work aims to meet each person where they are and adapt to what they need.

Alongside client work, Rebecca lectures in counselling and psychotherapy at university. Her background includes supporting people who have experienced trauma and those with learning disabilities, and she draws on that experience when planning sessions.

In sessions she blends approaches rather than using one fixed method. That allows space for listening, practical strategies and attention to how early connections shape current patterns. The aim is to find what helps an individual feel steadier and more able to cope.

Rebecca describes the therapeutic relationship as built on acceptance, trust and an open mind. She emphasises collaboration and commitment to the work. If someone wants to explore change, she offers practical and emotional support through the process.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rebecca works from an integrative base that brings together person-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-informed ideas. Person-centred work focuses on careful listening and helping someone feel understood, which can make it easier to talk about painful topics. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical steps to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, stress and low mood. Attachment-informed thinking helps notice patterns in relationships and where early experiences influence current reactions.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work. Rebecca aims to decide collaboratively with each person which mix of listening, practical tools and relationship-focused reflection fits their needs and goals. That planning can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them be consistent with therapy while balancing work and family commitments.
