About Rebecca
Rebecca Rust-Ashford is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of clinical experience. Rebecca works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression.
She uses different practical approaches depending on the issue in front of her. Rebecca adapts how she talks and what she suggests so each person can try what fits them. She describes her practice as drawing on a mix of methods rather than one fixed model.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about the problem and small steps to try between sessions. Rebecca aims to help people manage symptoms and untangle repetitive patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions and issues around adoption or foster care.
Her work includes trauma-focused techniques and EMDR as part of that wider toolkit. She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the focus on the person in front of her. This combination is aimed at practical relief and clearer emotional understanding over time.
Rebecca practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If someone is in a blended household - for example navigating stepparent roles, co-parenting with an ex, or managing loyalty conflicts - she lists blended family issues among the areas she addresses. To start she asks people about their situation and goals, then suggests a route forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Rebecca works with client-centred therapy, EMDR and trauma-focused approaches. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings, which helps with low self esteem and relationship worries. EMDR uses guided eye movements within trauma work to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold. Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past harm shapes current reactions and aims to teach new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca discusses the options with each person and adjusts methods to fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and review how well those approaches are helping over time.
The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions fit around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to work with a registered professional from their local area when that suits their schedule.
