Welcome to Take Care Counselling.

Thank you for reading this, you’ve taken the first step, which is very brave.

Anxiety, depression, emotional distress, life's upheavels, bereavement are just some of the reasons to causing emotional pain. As we move through life some of our past experiences can stay alive in our day to day and cause pain and distress. I believe everyone has the ability to find their way through tough times and heal and grow. I have worked with many different presenting issues in a sensitive and compassionate way. I am a person centred counsellor and will explore with you anything you bring.

I am a counsellor offering person centred counselling. What that means, is it’s about you and how you got here. I believe everyone has the ability to find their way through tough times and heal and grow.

I have worked with many different presenting issues in a sensitive and compassionate way. These include anxiety, depression, bereavement, abuse - domestic and child - health concerns, relationship issues and life events.

I offer a safe, respectful, non-judgemental, confidential space to explore whatever it is that brings you here. I ensure we go at your pace. I believe you should retain autonomy over your experiences and ways forward. I believe everyone has an ability to grow and develop and I will stand with you as you start/ continue that journey.

A bit about me

My name is Rebecca. I studied Counselling and Psychotherapy at the University of Salford. I volunteer at Mind as a Counsellor. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. This is the recognised body for Counselling. It means I practise to an ethical framework and standard.

Person Centred counselling is about you exploring with me anything which you want to bring to a session. I’ll hold you emotionally to explore sensitive or traumatic or confusing thoughts. You won’t be alone.

How the sessions run:

I offer online and face to face sessions, which are 50 minutes long. 

I will listen to you and accept you fully as you are, offering deep empathy to ensure you feel safe. This is a therapeutic space where you will be prized and invited to explore sometimes painful issues in a candid way. The therapeutic relationship facilitates the development of trust and enables new pathways to emerge from which you can find a healthier approach.

Counselling does not involve giving you advice or a diagnosis.

To find out whether you wish to work with me I offer a 15 minute initial telephone conversation to discuss why you reached out and also how I work.  

Following that, the first session is free to allow you to consider if you want to work with me and also for me to ensure I am the right counsellor for you.
