About me and my practice

In our sessions we can explore what you want to change and find the tools you need to feel happier in yourself, your relationships and your day to day life. We might look at your patterns of relating; how you think and feel about yourself and others, the things that you don't understand about yourself and your relationships. We can look back into the past to see how it may still be affecting you. For example, the decisions we make in childhood about who we are and how we are might need updating to reflect the person you are now. It can feel overwhelming... where do I even start!? Our sessions are a safe and supportive place to work it out together.

It can feel uncomfortable to open up to a stranger about things that are very personal (I've been there too!) It feels like it might be easier just to get on with things and ignore it, but that often doesn't work for long and the same problems bubble up again. Therapy is a safe and confidential space where you will be accepted as you are and won't be judged.

Experience

I am an experienced integrative counsellor and therapist and have also worked for many years in training and facilitating mental health support groups for Mind. I draw on a number of different theoretical approaches and work in a way where I put our relationship at the heart of the work we do together.

I won't tell you what I think you should do, as I haven't lived your life and what might be right for me won't necessarily be right for you. So I won't give you advice but I will go through it with you and, like detectives, we can work it out together.

"Becka has a rare ability to help people tackle the most deeply rooted issues in a gentle but determined way. I started our sessions after a domestic violence assault and as time progressed, Becka assisted me in overcoming issues that had plagued me for decades. I had a painful anxiety symptom in my throat as well as a history of suicide attempts, substance abuse, low self-esteem and unhealthy relationships. Becka enabled me to recognise and process the trauma behind the pain, sharing techniques which are now an invaluable part of my toolkit. Her approach is pragmatic, thoughtful and inspiring - always empowering. My life is no longer driven by my angry, hurting inner child; but by my fully integrated, loving self. I will be forever grateful to Becka for helping me finally free myself from the rut I was stuck in for so long. I am overjoyed that I can now navigate and direct my life in a confident and positive way. I wholeheartedly recommend Becka - you could not find a better person to journey those rocky paths with." (Testimonial by S.M. 2020).

Initial Consultation

Before your first session we will have had an initial telephone consultation to see how we both feel about working together. Then I'll send you an assessment form that has a number of questions for you to have a look at before we meet.

Doing an assessment is important to support working safely together. Some of the questions are things like contact details and your GP surgery and some are more to do with what you are finding difficult right now.

I send the assessment form before our 1st session so that I can get a better understanding of what is going on for you, the factors involved and gather some more background information before we meet. It's also a good chance for you to think about what you want to focus on. You can complete the parts you feel comfortable with and others we can look at together in our sessions. You send the form back to me before our 1st session with any questions that might have come up.
