Rebecca Morrell

BACP Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor

Hello! I’m Rebecca, a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor with 15 years’ experience, based in the centre of Meltham, West Yorkshire.

I know that searching for a counsellor can feel overwhelming. Whether you are looking for support for yourself or a loved one, the most important thing is finding someone who "gets" it. I offer a down-to-earth, human approach to therapy, available face-to-face in Meltham or online, via telephone, or live chat for those further afield.

Please take a look around to get a feel for how I work. If you have any questions or feel ready to book an initial session, I’d love to hear from you.

About Me

I imagine you’ve scrolled through dozens of profiles by now, seeing the same checklist: trust, boundaries, safety, non-judgemental. While those things are vital, they can feel like empty buzzwords when you’re in the middle of a crisis.

I’m not going to tell you what I think you want to hear. The reality is, I don’t have a magic wand, and I can’t "fix" everything. I am human—with my own life, mistakes, experiences and flaws—just like you. I believe that is exactly why this works.

"I am not a professional expert in a fancy suit telling you what to do, I’m sitting alongside you, working it out with you, using tools and strategies from training and 15 years of experience with clients to support you to reach your goals in a way that works for you."

Every session is as unique as the person sitting across from me, sometimes we’ll get out the pens and paper to explore emotions or experiences in a creative way, others we’ll be looking at proactive coping strategies and resources to deal with here and now symptoms. Ultimately this work belongs to you, I am simply the person walking beside you, offering support using my resources, as we navigate the path together.

The Professional Bit: I am an Accredited BACP member and a Supervisor for both trainee and qualified counsellors. Having spent 13 years in private practice, I’ve supported people through some of the heaviest chapters of life—from trauma and bereavement to the quiet, nagging weight of low self-esteem and "work-life" stress.

What is Counselling and how could it help?

Sometimes when going through a difficult time it can be easier to talk to someone who doesn’t know you, won’t judge you or tell you what to do.

The counselling relationship is confidential and gives you the space to say things you may not usually feel comfortable saying for fear of being judged or upsetting loved ones.

You may not completely understand the way you are feeling, and you may find it useful having someone to guide you through an exploration of feelings and thoughts.

It is important for you as the client to feel safe, in a trusting, honest and supportive relationship with your counsellor. The strength of the relationship itself is essential for the counselling process and for this reason it is really important that you find the right counsellor for you.

Counselling can help with: relationship problems, anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self esteem, eating disorders, self-harming, work related worries, stress, trauma, divorce, physical health conditions, anger and much more. It can also be used as a practice of self-care or maintenance, giving yourself that space and time to reflect, and to process your thoughts and feelings can be incredibly supportive at times when life feels more difficult.

Counselling is not just about listening, or about giving advice. The counselling relationship provides a secure base from which you can explore difficult feelings, experiment with different ways of being and start to make changes or work towards goals.

I use the ‘relational’ model of counselling, looking at the patterns we have developed in childhood, how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. I enjoy helping people to make sense of why they are who they are, and how their childhood experiences have impacted how they respond to things even in the present day. I use my own experiences of the therapeutic relationship with clients to gather information about their patterns and ways of being in relationship.

Supervision

My Approach to Supervision

I approach supervision much as I do counselling: holistically, person-centred, and deeply collaborative. To me, it is vital to know you as an individual, not just a practitioner. Understanding the context of your life helps me better understand the context from which you meet your clients.

Growth through Connection

My goal is to foster a relationship where you feel safe enough to share not just your triumphs, but your struggles, concerns, and "mistakes." Supervision is hard work, but it should also be something you enjoy. We are all constantly evolving, and I find it a privilege to sit alongside therapists as they grow through their training and their careers.

The Seven-Eyed Model

To ground our work, I use the 7-Eyed Model. This allows us to explore your client work from every angle—looking at the relationships between the client, the therapist, the supervisor, and the wider cultural context. Together, we ensure your practice remains safe, ethical, and nourishing, for you and your clients. Having supervised both trainees and experienced therapists in private practice, I am comfortable navigating the differing requirements of each.
