About me

AVAILABILITY

ONLINE AVAILABILITY on FRIDAYS during the day for short-term therapy (up to 12 sessions) as I will be starting maternity leave beginning of November.

Rebecca completed her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at University College London and has worked for the NHS for over 10 years. Currently, she works in an NHS Health Psychology service.
Within this service she specialises in helping people adjust to living with long-term health conditions and illness, including chronic pain and fatigue. She also works with people with obesity who are struggling to lose weight by providing a psychological understanding of the relationship with food and body size and a psychologically informed weight loss approach. She has published research on the role of self-compassion and self-criticism in the context of binge eating behaviour.
With the onset of COVID, Rebecca was deployed to provide psychological therapy to hospital frontline staff within the NHS, a service she continues to work in. This involves helping staff cope with the anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, guilt and trauma reactions triggered by the COVID pandemic.
Prior to working in health psychology, Rebecca worked in a Primary Care service with adults experiencing difficulties with depression and anxiety. This included helping people with obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder and other common problems such as work-related stress, poor sleep, low confidence and difficulties managing anger.
