Get in touch What I help with

Hello, I’m Rebecca.

Rebecca Bromfield

I have been working as a qualified therapist since 2003, supporting clients with a wide range of personal challenges.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, relational, attachment-based, trauma-informed and CBT-informed ways of working. In practice, this means I tailor therapy to you, rather than expecting you to fit into one particular model. Together, we can find an approach that feels right for your needs.

I have a particular interest in relationships, and the ways our experiences shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. Many people I work with find themselves repeating patterns they don’t fully understand, struggling with boundaries or self-confidence, or feeling disconnected from who they truly are. Therapy can help you gain insight into these patterns and create space for positive change.

I offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about whatever is on your mind. Therapy gives you the opportunity to pause, reflect and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.

What I help with

Each client is unique and brings their own, individual challenges. You don’t need to fit neatly into any of these categories. Tap a topic to read more.

Relationships

Making sense of recurring patterns, setting healthier boundaries and understanding how past experiences shape how we connect with others. I can also help people deal with the emotional fallout once a significant relationship has ended.

Anxiety, stress and overwhelm

A safe space to explore your current issues and navigate a way forward.

Self-esteem

Developing a sense of agency, confidence and belief in yourself.

Trauma

Trauma related to a single distressing event, relational trauma (such as betrayal, infidelity or repeated rejection), developmental trauma or complex trauma.

Psychological and narcissistic abuse

Including emotional abuse, coercive control, post-separation abuse and stalking. We will explore the impact these dynamics have on self-esteem, boundaries and long-term patterns, and develop ways of managing. This includes managing communication if you need to keep in contact with the person who abused you, for example a co-parenting relationship.

Addictions

We will also explore the trauma behind the addiction at your own pace, in a compassionate, non-judgemental way.

Neurodiversity

ADD/ADHD and autism. You don’t need a formal diagnosis, as we will be working with the impact your symptoms have on your day-to-day life.

Anger management

Anger is often a secondary emotion that can sit on top of more vulnerable feelings. Any ‘unacceptable’ feelings, such as shame, resentment, jealousy, envy and rage, will also be explored with compassion and curiosity.

Loss and bereavement

Including complex grief, bereavement by suicide, baby loss and pet bereavement.

Health challenges

Coming to terms with a difficult physical or mental health diagnosis, and living well with chronic illness, including CFS/ME.

Depression

A safe, consistent and non-judgemental space where you can feel fully heard and understood, with support to access and express your feelings. We may use evidence-based techniques that gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more accurate and helpful ones.

How I work

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, while at other times it may just be a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. You might be facing a difficult decision, struggling with a relationship, going through a period of change, or simply wanting a space to think, reflect and be heard.

Some people come to counselling wanting to understand themselves more deeply. Others are looking for support through a challenging period of life, or practical ways of managing what they’re currently experiencing. Whatever brings you to therapy, we can explore it together with curiosity, compassion and care.

Building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe space where clients feel truly heard and understood is at the heart of what I do. My aim is to help you develop a greater understanding of yourself, feel more confident in your choices, and build a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.

I see in-person clients in a comfortable space at Enterprise House, close to Salisbury city centre. There is plenty of free parking and the room is wheelchair accessible. It is within easy reach of Wilton, Harnham, Netherhampton, Old Sarum, Coombe Bissett and the Woodford Valley.

Questions people ask

What happens first?

I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone call, giving us an opportunity to get to know each other, and for you to decide whether I’m the right therapist for you.

You’re welcome to share a little about yourself, what is bringing you to therapy, and how things are for you at the moment. There’s no need to prepare anything in advance. Many people feel nervous about making that first call, and that’s completely understandable. I’ll do my best to help you feel comfortable and at ease.

Together, we can explore whether therapy feels like the right support for you at this time, and how we might work together. There will be plenty of opportunity for you to ask any questions you have. For therapy to be effective, it’s essential to choose someone you feel comfortable with.

What happens after the first session?

If we decide to work together, we’ll agree on a regular weekly appointment. Sessions are 50 minutes long, and usually take place at the same time on the same day each week.

Regular sessions provide a consistent space for reflection, exploration and change, helping to build the therapeutic relationship and support the process of therapy.

How many sessions will I need?

The length of therapy varies from person to person. Some clients come for a relatively short period, while others choose to work together for longer. We’ll review this as we go, making sure the pace and length feel right for you and your needs.

If you feel ready to end therapy, or something isn’t working for you, we can discuss this without any judgement whatsoever. Some clients pause therapy with a view to returning, while others stop completely.

Is it better to have counselling in person or online?

I tend to work in person, but sometimes face to face therapy isn’t practical or possible, and some clients simply feel more relaxed in a familiar environment.

Evidence shows that in most cases online counselling can be just as effective as face to face. The most important factor in successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between you and your therapist.

What if I need to cancel a session?

It’s absolutely okay if you need to cancel or rearrange a session from time to time, but I ask that you give as much notice as possible. Where less than 48 hours’ notice is given, or a session is missed without notice, I reserve the right to charge the full session fee.

Will what I discuss in therapy be confidential?

I work in line with the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions, and what we discuss in therapy will not be shared with anyone else. There are some limits to confidentiality, for example if I felt that you or someone else was at risk of harm, but wherever possible this would always be discussed openly with you.

Get in touch

You don’t need to know exactly what to say. A line or two is plenty, and I will get in touch with you within 24 hours.
