Rebeca Paiva , BACP

Rebeca Paiva is a UK-licensed, BACP-accredited therapist with more than eight years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. She works with a wide range of concerns including attachment patterns, low self-esteem, overthinking, burnout, people-pleasing, difficulties with boundaries, emotional regulation, panic, grief, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences on present-day wellbeing.

Her practice is grounded in humanistic person-centred counselling and she blends a range of evidence-informed methods to meet each person where they are. Rebeca integrates cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused strategies, interpersonal approaches, transactional analysis, and compassion-focused work to offer both emotional insight and practical coping skills. This trauma-informed, integrative, strengths-based style aims to help people understand triggers, challenge self-critical thinking, and develop resilience.

Rebeca holds a Master’s in Health Psychology and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and her BACP accreditation signifies membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to recognised professional standards. She also supports clients living with chronic health conditions by exploring the emotional effects of diagnosis, change, and adjustment, helping clients manage what cannot be changed and heal what can.

In therapy she explores feelings, behaviours, and internal patterns with curiosity and compassion, identifying core issues, unhelpful beliefs, and existing strengths so people can feel more grounded, confident, and able to navigate relationships and life transitions.
