Psychodynamic counselling in Holcombe, near Bath, BA3
Welcome
A space to pause, reflect and explore.
Sometimes we can find ourselves struggling with things that are difficult to understand or make sense of on our own.
What may bring people to seek counselling
You may be experiencing anxiety or low mood, living with the effects of trauma, or finding relationships difficult to navigate. You may be struggling with food or body image, adjusting to physical illness, or coming to terms with loss or bereavement. Perhaps you are going through a period of change, facing difficult life choices, or finding yourself caught in thoughts and feelings that are hard to understand. Sometimes, you may simply feel that things are not quite as you would like them to be, without knowing exactly why.
About me
Hello, I'm Rebecca.
I have over 20 years' experience working in a variety of roles across mental health services. Throughout my career, I have worked in NHS inpatient services, secure mental health services and therapeutic charities, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences, recognising that each person brings their own circumstances, relationships and history to therapy. My experience has taught me that there is no single way of understanding what someone is going through, and I believe it is important to take the time to understand each person as an individual.
As a psychodynamic counsellor, my approach is grounded in psychoanalytic theory. I am interested in how our earlier experiences and relationships can influence the way we think, feel and relate to ourselves and others in the present. Counselling provides a space to reflect on these experiences and consider how they may continue to influence us, sometimes in ways that are not immediately apparent.
How I work
A steady, reliable space
I offer once-weekly, 50-minute in-person sessions, held at the same time each week.
Before beginning ongoing counselling, I invite you to attend two initial consultation sessions. These give us time to talk about what has brought you to counselling, what you are looking for, and whether we feel we can work well together.
If we decide to continue, counselling is open-ended, with no predetermined number of sessions. There is no fixed end date; instead, we can review the work together as it develops and consider what feels appropriate for you.
The pace and focus of counselling will vary from person to person. I aim to provide a consistent and confidential setting where you can speak openly and take the time to explore what is important to you.
