About Rebecca

Rebecca Hird helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and addiction. She also offers support for grief, intimacy-related worries, eating concerns, career questions and coping with big life changes.

Rebecca works with a wide range of emotional and relational issues and is comfortable talking about complex topics such as attachment, mood disorders, panic attacks and post-traumatic stress. Rebecca is a BACP counsellor practising psychodynamic therapy.

Background and approach

She listens closely and reflects on what is shared, helping people notice patterns in feelings and relationships. Sessions are conversational rather than directive, with space for whatever feels most important that week. Therapy can be short term or longer term, depending on what the person wants.

Rebecca usually offers weekly sessions and leaves room for the discussion to shift as new matters arise. She does not routinely set homework, but will agree to simple tasks between sessions if that would help someone work towards a goal. Her way of working is about thinking together rather than giving advice.

Talking things through with another person can help make sense of confusing emotions and open up new options. Rebecca explains the psychodynamic approach when asked and encourages people to choose what feels right for them. She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Rebecca has five years of experience and holds BACP registration. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Psychodynamic approaches for online therapy

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. It helps people notice recurring patterns in their emotions, reactions and relationships, which can be useful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma responses and repeating relationship problems.

Rebecca offers a conversational style rather than a fixed step-by-step plan. She will work collaboratively to find the best way forward, adapting the approach to a person’s needs and goals. Deciding on the right therapeutic method is part of the work and she will talk through options with clients so they can choose what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that is preferred. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a conversation without being on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and reach registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
