Rebecca Barley Hawkins
Calm, non-judgemental counselling support
About Rebecca
Rebecca Barley Hawkins is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She meets people using video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging as well as face-to-face sessions. Rebecca aims to create a calm space where someone can talk about what feels hard and feel heard without judgement.
Her practice focuses on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and panic symptoms.
Background and approach
Rebecca pays attention to issues like abandonment, communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and the struggles young adults face. Rebecca works with both neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals. She uses a non-directive style that gives people room to choose what to talk about and to move at their own pace.
Sessions are guided by whatever feels most helpful to each person in the moment. Her aim is to build trust through warmth, honesty and integrity. Over time she supports people to make sense of past and present issues and to find greater autonomy in how they respond to life’s challenges.
People come for short-term support or for longer work depending on their needs. Rebecca asks about goals and preferences, then shapes sessions around what the person wants to explore and change.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Rebecca works in a person-centred, non-directive way that gives the client room to lead what they want to discuss. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of emotions, past events or relationship patterns without pressure to follow a set agenda.She also uses evidence-based techniques for anxiety and panic that focus on understanding triggers and building coping strategies. These practical steps help reduce the frequency and intensity of panic symptoms and make everyday worries more manageable.
When trauma or abuse is discussed, the focus is on offering a steady, trusting relationship and on processing experiences at a pace the person feels able to handle. The aim is to strengthen emotional regulation and restore a greater sense of control over reactions and memories.
Choosing an approach happens together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adapt them as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing helps them reflect. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study or home routines while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
