Rebecca Luff-Smith
Hi, I’m Rebecca, a trainee counsellor from Essex offering a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore what matters most to you. My style is down-to-earth and collaborative – we will work at the pace and in the direction that feels right for you.
I’m an integrative counsellor, which means using a variety of approaches to help you reach a deeper understanding. We will look at situations from a variety of perspectives to figure out a way through.
I’m especially passionate about supporting people who may be managing difficult relationships, understanding how narcissism affects them, or simply trying to make sense of life’s twists and turns. I like to think from a philosophical perspective, about how to build towards a life full of happiness and purpose. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and aim to make therapy accessible and genuinely useful.
I work with adults facing anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, life transitions or simply difficult feelings, like confusion or burn-out. My background is in teaching, and I love helping people reconnect with their inner clarity and confidence. For many of us, self-compassion is a skill and mindset that needs to be intentionally cultivated, and discovering more of your authentic self can also be important work of therapy.
I’m working towards an MSc in Therapeutic Counselling, a student member of the BACP and work under regular supervision in line with their ethical framework. If you’re looking for a space that’s warm, thoughtful, and tailored to you – where you can speak freely and start making sense of things – I’d be glad to walk alongside you.
