Approach
Within any therapy the relationship between therapist and client is of utmost importance. Feeling comfortable with your therapist and being able to work together are essential for change to happen. Therefore providing a warm and supportive space where herself and her client can develop an open and collaborative therapeutic relationship is Rebecca’s number one priority. Once Rebecca and her client have developed a shared understanding of the issues her client would like to work on she draws upon a number of therapeutic models most suited to her client’s needs.
