About Rebecca
Rebecca Gilmour is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite themselves and supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, low mood and anger.
She meets people where they are and does not expect a clear plan before starting. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Rebecca describes her work as pluralistic, which means she draws on a range of approaches rather than using just one method.
In practical terms this means talking through what is happening day to day, noticing patterns in relationships and emotions, and trying methods that suit the person. Rebecca checks in regularly so the work stays relevant and adjustments can be made if something is not helping.
People come for different reasons - to gain better control of their emotions, to build self-esteem, to understand recurring difficulties, or to manage life changes. Rebecca focuses on helping people find clarity and greater self-acceptance through straightforward conversation and focused practice.
The first sessions are used to see whether the counsellor-client relationship feels like a good match. If it does, subsequent sessions aim to build on what helps and to try different techniques when needed. The approach is practical and flexible, concentrating on what works for each person.
How her pluralistic approach translates to online sessions
Rebecca describes her work as pluralistic, which means she draws on more than one evidence-based technique and picks what fits each person. For example, practical emotion-regulation strategies help people notice triggers, manage strong reactions, and practise calmer responses in day-to-day situations. Short exercises and step-by-step techniques can be used between sessions to build new habits.She also uses conversational, insight-focused methods to help people spot patterns in relationships and life choices. These conversations aim to increase understanding of repeated reactions and to open up different ways of responding when anger, anxiety or low mood arise. The counsellor and client review what helps and adjust the mix of techniques together.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then try methods that suit those aims. The process is collaborative and flexible, with regular check-ins to see what to keep or change.
Specific session formats are not listed in her biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into work breaks, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for an online setting so the work still focuses on practical change and day-to-day coping.
