Rebecca also provides support to parents, caregivers, partners, siblings, and any other loved one who is struggling with the psychological and social impact of having a loved one who is ill.

​

Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to establish treatment goals and uses evidence-based modalities which are tailored to the unique needs of each individual client. Rebecca draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to provide clients with strategies to manage the challenges that they are facing. Rebecca has also completed training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Enhanced for Eating Disorders (CBT-E) through Oxford University.
