Rebecca Carter , PGDip, BSc, MBACP (UK)

I am an experienced Integrative and Trauma informed Counsellor from London, UK, holding additional qualifications in Yoga, Women’s Health, and Somatic practices. My approach is holistic and intuitive, integrating diverse psychological approaches and healing modalities to best suit your individual needs. I believe it is rare that we find a space in our lives where we can explore what troubles us the most, tending to our emotional wounds with the expertise and support of another. Complex emotions such as shame, guilt, hopelessness and fear often keep us silent in our struggles, which we are not meant to navigate alone. My hope is that by offering a compassionate, collaborative and safe relationship in therapy, you feel encouraged and supported to meet yourself deeply, while gaining invaluable insights and cultivating a loving relationship with self on life’s journey.

I have specialist training in Somatic Psychotherapy Practices and Trauma and as such, my approach is tailored to gently work with the multi-layered impact of trauma and invite the body into our work as a guide in the healing process. I recognise that present anxieties, limiting core beliefs and unhealthy conflicts or patterns can have roots in deeply painful, life changing and traumatic experiences. Our sessions together may therefore integrate inner child work, exploring early life attachments and family systems to deepen our understanding of current pain points. My hope is that working with the mind-body will help you process unresolved emotional wounds, find psychological relief, whilst restoring balance in your body and nervous system.

The area of Women’s Mental Health is one of great interest and passion for me. In my work, I am committed to helping women to connect deeply to their bodies and womb space, whilst honouring and living in alignment with stages of womanhood throughout one’s life journey. This includes Cycle Syncing, Fertility, Pregnancy, Motherhood and Menopause support.
