Rebecca Foster
Compassionate integrative counsellor for grief and anxiety
About Rebecca
Rebecca Foster uses an integrative approach to counselling, blending person-centred listening with cognitive and attachment-informed techniques. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registrant and has five years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Rebecca is also known for her work on grief and bereavement.
She has carried out extensive research into grief which is under review for publication. That research informs how she supports people after loss, helping them make sense of intense feelings and find ways to move forward.
Background and approach
Rebecca draws on practical strategies alongside empathic listening. As a university lecturer in counselling and psychotherapy, she brings teaching experience to her clinical work. This background means she often uses evidence-informed techniques and explains ideas in clear, plain language.
Sessions focus on achievable steps as well as understanding deeper patterns. Her integrative style combines person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment perspectives. That mix is used to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than sticking to a single method.
Rebecca aims to build acceptance and trust so people feel understood and able to try new ways of coping. People seek her help for low self-esteem, motivation issues, coping with life changes and bereavement. She offers straightforward support, practical tools and a steady commitment to each person’s goals.

How Rebecca’s therapy methods work online
Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques in a flexible way so sessions fit each person’s needs. One key strand is person-centred counselling, which focuses on listening closely and helping people feel accepted so they can talk honestly about difficult feelings. This approach is useful for building trust and exploring worries and grief.She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change mood and behaviour. These steps can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by giving simple tools to test and shift thinking patterns. Attachment-informed thinking is another element, which looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options with each person and agree on methods that match their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning means techniques can change as progress is made and different needs arise.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
