   About Rebecca

   Rebecca Gomperts uses Motivational Interviewing alongside person-centred and existential approaches to help people make meaningful changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters to each person. Rebecca aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about addiction, relationships, trauma and self-esteem without judgement.

   She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that build confidence and motivation. Rebecca also works with issues around abandonment, control, guilt and shame, and loneliness, helping people untangle difficult feelings and find clearer direction.

   Rebecca completed a first-class BA in Counselling at Sheffield Hallam University in 2024. She is registered with the BACP, which she lists as her professional credential. She also studies for an MSc in The Psychology of Coercive Control at the University of Salford to deepen her understanding of relational harm.

   Her experience includes three years of professional practice supporting people through recovery and rebuilding. In a typical session she listens, reflects what she hears, and helps set achievable goals. The focus is practical change delivered at a steady pace.

   Rebecca encourages people who feel stuck to take a first step. She offers calm, respectful conversations and helps people work towards clearer values, healthier choices and greater self-compassion.

2. How therapeutic approaches work online

   Rebecca uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change; this approach uses open questions, reflection and gentle guidance to boost motivation for steps such as reducing substance use or improving relationships. Client-centred work prioritises the person in the room - the counsellor listens carefully, mirrors what they hear, and follows the client’s pace to build trust and self-understanding. Existential ideas help people talk about meaning, values and life choices, which can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about direction.
   
   Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rebecca will work with clients to figure out which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the focus over time so sessions stay relevant and practical, and aims for clear, collaborative planning rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.
   
   Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to join from different locations and to choose a session rhythm that matches work, family and other commitments.
