Rebecca Upton

Overview

The practice is run by Rebecca Upton, a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBACP). The listing presents an integrative counselling service that emphasises straightforward, evidence-informed therapeutic work without jargon. The clinic offers both online and face-to-face appointments across Nottingham and London and provides low-friction access to additional self-help resources for clients.

The practice focuses on helping clients manage anxiety, low mood and sleep disruption, and uses practical strategies and clear explanations to support change. Their approach is person-centred and adaptable, drawing on multiple therapy models to fit the client’s needs.

Best for

This practitioner is best suited for adults and older adults who want direct, practical therapy for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, stress and trauma-related difficulties. They are a good match for people who prefer clear, no-nonsense communication and practical tools to improve day-to-day functioning.

• Clients experiencing persistent worry or anxiety
• People with sleep disturbance or low mood
• Clients seeking integrative, long-term therapy

Approach

The practice uses an integrative framework, combining elements of CBT, person-centred and relational approaches to tailor therapy to each client. Sessions focus on linking thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and behaviours, and on building practical coping strategies that fit everyday life.

Treatment typically begins with assessment and a first (free) session to establish fit and priorities. Interventions may include practical diagrams and exercises, exploration of attachment and relationship patterns, and techniques aimed at improving sleep, reducing worry and increasing motivation.

Work is paced to the client’s readiness and aims to develop self-sufficiency so therapy is time-limited where appropriate. The practitioner offers both long-term face-to-face work and online sessions, and uses clear, direct communication rather than therapeutic jargon.

Education and Training

The practitioner holds a Masters in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and related postgraduate qualifications (Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy). Additional training includes Compassion-Focused Therapy and specialist training in responding to rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse. The listing also shows MBACP registered membership.

Support

Clients receive a structured first session with information and practical next steps if they continue. The practice provides ongoing support through regular sessions, and offers access to additional membership resources (calming audios, weekly check-ins and self-care plans) as complementary support between sessions.

The listing emphasises confidentiality, client pace and an inclusive, identity-affirming stance (membership of the Your Spaces Too campaign is noted). Safety and boundaries are addressed through standard assessment and consent at the first session.
