Practical, down-to-earth therapy to feel secure in your social connections, stop overthinking & feel good enough.
Therapy in Glossop Or Online
Hi, I’m Rebecca and if you’re tired of worrying what everyone thinks, live in fear of rejection and find friendships a nightmare to navigate, I can help.
Does this sound familiar?
- You spiral if texts go unanswered and lie awake at night, convinced your friends are mad at you.
- You analyse social interactions - worrying how you came across and whether people are judging you.
- The need to be liked and what everyone wants you to be, is so powerful that you don’t know who you are anymore.
- You can't say no to friends (or anyone else!) without feeling like a terrible person or being scared you'll lose them.
- You experience strong feelings of rejection if friends cancel, seem distant or close to others.

Worrying what people think and feeling insecure in your personal relationships is usually a sign of low self worth. You know that overthinking, people pleasing and anxiety has taken over your life but you don't know how to stop.
A bit about me
I am a fully qualified BACP registered integrative psychotherapist and work online (so location isn’t an issue) but also offer in-person therapy in Glossop, Derbyshire.
I’m particularly passionate about supporting people whose relationships are impacted by low self worth because I know how it feels.
For years, I lived with a constant feeling of not being good enough, and worrying what everyone thought, which affected all areas of my life— especially in friendships.
Learning how to accept myself, care less about others’ opinions and feel secure with others changed my life.
That experience is what led me to train as a therapist specialising in friendships & low self worth to help other people improve platonic relationships. reduce anxiety and stop people pleasing.
For more information about my work experience and training see About me section.
"I have always suffered with low self-worth and was my own worse critic. I tried therapy before but Rebecca's kind and practical approach had the best results. I use the exercises Rebecca taught me almost on a daily basis, helping bring a moment of calm and self acceptance when I’m feeling stressed or overwhelmed by negative thoughts. I feel more positive about the future and would recommend Rebecca’s practice to anyone"

What to expect when working with me
If you feel anxious in your relationships (e.g friends, family or work) or you never feel good enough, this isn’t your fault. It’s rooted in childhood experiences that taught you how to relate to yourself and others.
The therapy I offer helps you explore how past experiences are affecting your present relationships and uses the latest evidence-based tools to overcome low self worth, navigate relationships with more ease and create the future you want.
I blend the following practical, trauma-informed approaches:
- CBT – helps you understand how your thoughts and feelings shape your behaviour and teaches you how to generate different perspectives.
- Mindfulness/Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you give space to tricky thoughts and feelings, reduce overthinking and live by your values.
- EMDR process traumatic memories from childhood that are keeping you stuck
- Compassion Focussed Therapy uses practical tools to reduce self criticism and shame and increase self compassion.
I offer face to face therapy in Glossop but also offer sessions online and have clients from all over the world. I typically charge £80 per session (£70 for local residents on lower income or £75 for block bookings)

"Before working with Rebecca I felt crippled by lack of confidence and anxious about everything. Fear of making rejection stopped me making connections. Rebecca helped me understand why I felt how I did and then we worked together to build up my self esteem so that I felt more secure with my friends. I feel like a different person and am so glad I started this journey"
