About Me
Hi, I’m Rebecca — a fully qualified BACP registered psychotherapist and mindfulness & self-compassion teacher, specialising in low self-esteem, anxiety and friendships.
I work with women who seem confident and capable on the outside – but inside constantly feel like they’re not enough in their personal or professional life.
They might struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-criticism, work stress burnout or friendship anxiety.
They often tell me they’re exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy and consumed with second guessing everything, never feeling truly relaxed or confident themselves.
My work helps women break free from self doubt, overthinking and caring what everyone else opinions – so they can feel secure, calm and confident — both with others and within themselves.
My approach
I blend evidence-based therapy approaches including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (mindfulness) to create a unique, powerful approach for anxiety, low self-esteem, people pleasing & friendships anxiety.
Clients describe me as warm, down-to-earth and easy to open up to, but also honest and direct. I’ll help you feel comfortable and safe – but will also tell you the truth about what’s keeping you stuck.
Therapy with me is active and practical. I’ll teach you tools to calm your nervous system but also unpack the deeper beliefs stopping you feel secure enough to live the life you want.
It’s not just about talking — it’s about transforming how you see and treat yourself.
Why I do this work
I know first-hand how it feels to struggle with low self-esteem and fear of rejection. For years I worried about what others thought, felt anxious trying to please everyone and never felt good enough. This impacted my ability to form and maintain fulfilling friendships and I often felt anxious and stressed
Learning mindfulness and self-compassion completely changed my relationship with myself. It helped me let go of harsh self-criticism, build boundaries and finally feel at ease in my own skin.
Now I help others do the same — to move from constant self-doubt to self-acceptance, and to build calmer, more fulfilling lives and relationships (including friendships that feel secure and genuine).
