Rebecca Gomperts

Rebecca Gomperts is a counsellor who draws on client-centred, existential and mindfulness approaches. She works with people dealing with addictions, relationship issues, trauma and low self-esteem. Rebecca aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate so people can talk through painful experiences and feel heard.

Rebecca completed a first-class BA in Counselling from Sheffield Hallam University in 2024 and holds BACP registration. She has three years of professional experience and is continuing her studies with an MSc in The Psychology of Coercive Control at the University of Salford.

In sessions she focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship first. Conversations look at what matters most to the person, and how their values and choices connect with their difficulties. Practical steps and small changes are discussed alongside reflection on feelings and past events.

Rebecca often uses simple mindfulness practices to help people manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing style conversations when someone wants to change habits such as substance use or patterns that harm relationships. Existential ideas are brought in to help people think about meaning, responsibility and life direction.

People who are wrestling with loneliness or abandonment concerns will find a space to name those feelings and try new ways of relating. Rebecca tailors the plan to each person and adjusts pace according to need. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How Rebecca's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions follow the same pattern - the counsellor helps you shape the conversation and keeps attention on your goals and values.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage difficult emotions. These exercises can be guided during an online session and practised between meetings to build steadier moments in daily life.

Existential ideas help people look at meaning, choices and responsibility in life. In online work this often means talking about what gives life purpose and how to make changes that fit personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy proceeds.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, or choose audio-only meetings if that feels more comfortable. Discuss practical arrangements during your initial match and scheduling step to find what works best.
