About Rebecca
Rebecca Sutherland is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who focuses on helping people through difficult life moments. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger and the effects of trauma or abuse. She offers one-to-one support that aims to be respectful and compassionate.
Her background includes work at a rape crisis centre providing support to victims of rape and adult survivors of child sexual abuse.
Background and approach
Rebecca has also worked in an alcohol residential rehabilitation unit delivering one-to-one psychodynamic counselling and co-facilitating group work based on cognitive behavioural principles. She has experience supporting people at a women’s refuge and in mental health residential care. In session she tailors conversations and the plan to each person’s needs.
She uses Systemic Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and family life. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s experience and Psychodynamic Therapy to consider how past events influence current feelings. Sessions aim to give time and space to make sense of problems and to build realistic ways forward.
Practical steps and emotional understanding are worked on together, not prescribed from above. Rebecca emphasises sensitivity, respect and empowerment throughout the work. She offers online counselling options and will arrange a plan that fits each person’s situation and goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Rebecca uses Systemic Therapy to help people see how relationships and everyday patterns affect feelings and behaviour; this can be useful for family conflict, relationship and parenting concerns. Client-Centred Therapy shapes sessions around the person’s experience, offering a non-judgemental space to be heard and to explore emotions. Psychodynamic Therapy helps identify how earlier life events influence current reactions and can be helpful for trauma, attachment or recurring relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. The aim is to find a way of working that matches practical needs and emotional aims rather than forcing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth, and text or chat can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or distance is a factor.
