Rebecca Bayliss, BACP

Rebecca Bayliss is a therapist qualified at Masters level in Counselling and Psychotherapy and holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She specialises in person-centred work, helping people make meaningful changes and addressing a wide range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Her practice prioritises a non-judgemental, accepting space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings and patterns without pressure. Rebecca emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change, aiming to help people feel heard and valued so they can speak openly about difficult material and begin to choose themselves more fully.

Drawing on training and clinical experience, she focuses on reconnecting mind and body when emotional pain shows up as physical symptoms. Rebecca recognises that medication can play a role for some people, while also working with emotions and experiences that may be trapped or unresolved and benefit from talking therapy. Her approach includes helping clients identify soulful activities and everyday practices that support a more satisfying life.

Rebecca works collaboratively, exploring underlying issues such as attachment, grief, self-esteem and communication difficulties, and tailoring sessions to the individual needs of each person.

Approaches that guide online support

Rebecca integrates client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy and trauma-focused techniques when working online. Client-centered therapy prioritises empathy and acceptance, giving clients space to explore their feelings and values and is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and general life transitions.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and unconscious influences that shape thoughts and behaviour, supporting exploration of attachment, long-standing relational themes and how past experiences affect present life. Trauma-focused therapy offers structured ways to process traumatic memories and the emotions they provoke, which can reduce overwhelm and help people regain a sense of agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca works collaboratively with each person and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to identify which combination of methods best fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility, allowing therapy to fit around work, family and daily life. These options make it easier to access regular support from a trained therapist without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to continue in ways that suit each person’s rhythm and comfort.
