Rebecca Briggs

Rebecca Briggs is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing anger, career strain, compassion fatigue and major life changes.

Rebecca uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. Sessions focus on naming emotions, tracing patterns in relationships, and building more workable ways of responding. She uses plain language in sessions and encourages practical steps people can try between meetings.

Her work often looks at abandonment and attachment issues, and at complications such as co-morbidity and obsessive-compulsive patterns. She has experience supporting people through hospice and end-of-life counselling, post-traumatic stress, phobias, jealousy and self-harm concerns. Young adult issues and career-related stress are also within her remit.

Rebecca trained to a BSc First Class (Hons) in counselling and holds the NCPS credential. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and existential ideas when they fit a person's needs. She aims to help people talk through what feels stuck and find small, steady ways to change how they relate to themselves and others.

For people considering therapy, Rebecca asks straightforward questions about goals and what has helped before. She works collaboratively to choose steps that feel manageable and concrete rather than abstract. Practical coping skills and clearer emotional understanding are common focuses in early sessions.
