Rebecca Garside

Rebecca Garside is a person-centred counsellor who helps people feeling alone, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. She works with issues around relationships, family life, parenting and the big changes that follow loss or separation. Beck is an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community and discusses questions about coming out and exploring sexual or gender identity with care. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

Beck draws on 13 years of experience supporting people through grief, emptiness and life transitions. She has a long history of working with adults who have been through the care system, including adoption and foster care experiences. She also supports parents facing the emotional shifts when children leave home and people navigating later life changes.

Her approach is person centred, which means sessions focus on the client’s experience and pace. Conversations aim to help people name what matters, make sense of painful feelings and find practical next steps. Beck listens without judgement and works to build trust so clients can explore difficult topics safely.

Typical sessions involve open questions, reflective listening and collaborative goal-setting. Beck also helps people with communication problems, commitment worries and struggles linked to body image or substance use. Her style is calm and straightforward, offering clear ways to try new coping strategies at home.

How person-centred work adapts to online therapy

Person-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach commonly suits issues like loneliness, identity questions and relationship concerns where being heard matters most.

As an approach, it encourages slow, steady exploration rather than quick fixes. That makes it adaptable to different session rhythms and to working through complex family or care-system histories. The emphasis is on the client’s goals and what feels useful to them in each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and jointly decide how to proceed. This collaborative process helps match techniques and pace to the person’s needs rather than imposing a single method.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to speak from a familiar environment. It can also permit shorter check-ins when needed and simpler arrangements for those who travel or live abroad.
