Rebeca Paiva , BACP

Rebeca Paiva is a UK-licensed therapist and BACP accredited practitioner who brings over eight years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She works with people struggling with low self-esteem, overthinking, burnout, grief, panic, emotional regulation, people-pleasing, and the long-term effects of childhood experiences on present wellbeing.

Her practice is grounded in humanistic, person-centred counselling and draws on a blend of therapeutic methods so each person receives both emotional understanding and practical tools. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and Compassion-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to individual needs and strengths.

Rebeca holds a Master’s in Health Psychology, a graduate degree focused on how psychological factors affect health and wellbeing, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, an undergraduate qualification in psychological science. She uses this training to help clients build self-worth, strengthen identity, recognise triggers, challenge the inner critic, and develop communication and stress-management skills that support resilience and sustainable growth.

She also supports people navigating chronic health conditions, helping them cope with diagnosis, change, and the emotional impact of illness. Rebeca offers therapy in English and Portuguese and aims to create a compassionate, curious space where feelings, patterns, and practical strategies can be explored together.
