Due to the sensitive nature of the work, testimonials are not a regular part of the process. From time to time Rebecca invites clients to supply anonymous testimonials (if they so choose). Here are some of the testimonials she had received over the years. If a name is shown, it is because the person has publicly created the testimonial themselves, on another review site. If you are a previous or current client and you would like to submit a testimonial, please email it to Rebecca directly and she will upload it anonymously.
“I first started therapy with Rebecca at the beginning of 2021 when my life was in complete turmoil and feeling lost. We did a mixture of face-to-face sessions but then I moved, so we switched to phone calls, which surprisingly worked so well for me. Rebecca was so accommodating and I truly felt she was in my corner 100%. Having been in therapy with her now for over 2 years, I can safely say I wouldn’t be where I am now without her amazing support and guidance. Having experienced the most difficult few years of my life, Rebecca was there every step of the way and truly heard me. Rebecca will forever have a special place in my story. I can move forwards now, knowing that she was an integral part of my healing journey. A thank you will never be enough, but thank you. x’
“I first met Rebecca 4 years ago when my life was basically a total mess. I was so lost and broken. I didn’t know how to fix my life, and had no idea how little control I had over it. Rebecca helped me slowly, but surely start to make good decisions for myself, and look at how I could take back some control. She never let me get away with anything, and was always honest and non-judgemental.
Once I had started to settle down she helped me to build strategies to help me move forwards.
I feel better now than I ever have.
I would, and have recommended Rebecca to anyone. She has truly changed my life, and I cannot thank her enough.”
“What Rebecca has done for me is incredible – I feel like the biggest weight has been lifted from my chest and shoulders. A weight I didn’t even realise I had been carrying for so long.
Gently, and with such care, attention and delicacy, Rebecca works with you on whatever you bring to her safe space and for that I’m eternally grateful.
To say it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done is an understatement and I will never ever be able to thank her enough for the role she’s played in my journey.
Thank you Rebecca – what you do is very special and I feel very lucky to have been able to get to work with you. Im finally able to live the life I want and be the person that’s been hidden away for a while. It’s life changing.”
“Rebecca has been my therapeutic supervisor for around three years, from trainee to qualified Counsellor and our journey together continues… During this time Rebecca has taught me so much; providing me with insight using her own experience and invaluable knowledge. I feel safe working with her, I felt connected as soon our working relationship started. I know that Rebecca has my best interest at heart and is passionate about my growth and learning. I really value our sessions together.”
“I first experienced mental health problems when I was 13. I spent 6 years seeing over 12 therapists, of whom none I could fully open up to or work with. When I was 19 I finally met Rebecca and she was genuinely the saviour for my mental health. We have been working together for 2 and a half years and she has helped me to come from Suicidal to hopeful and planning my whole future with a genuine smile on my face. She has finally helped me to find my genuine happiness again as well as providing me with vital coping mechanisms for anxiety and overthinking to prevent panic and breakdowns. Her work has allowed me to completely swing my mental health and I am happier than before my mental health problems even started. I would highly recommend Rebecca for anyone struggling.”
“From the first talk on the phone I felt that Rebecca will be a good therapist for me, she listens and gives the feeling that it’s ok to be open with her about anything. I’m continuously attending therapy with her for over a year now and I’m really happy with my progress in tackling depression and anxiety I was struggling with for most of my life. It is definitely worth waiting for her availability as she is very experienced and knows how to tackle your problems.”
“Extremely professional. Beautiful layout. Feel heard for once”
“She’s extremely professional, provides the right documents and chats with you on the phone to see if you are the right fit before even agreeing an initial meeting. Highly recommend.”
“I have been a client of Rebecca Hill since January 2015. I was given a personal recommendation to her to help me with a phobia which was distressing me greatly and impinging on my life. We met several times at her consulting rooms in Princes Risborough. This was a very pleasant and welcoming environment. She gave a friendly reassuring opening to each session. I was very impressed by the way that Rebecca was able to disseminate all the information I gave her which at that time was probably in a rather garbled state. She was very much able to sort out that information into a form that she could use to explain to me how my mind was working and how the various “threads” all inter-twined. Over the sessions in her consulting room I became very much more confident that I could overcome my fears and get my life back on an even keel once more. Whilst I was very emotional at times, Rebecca was able to remain calm and reassuring. She is always professional in dealing with me. Her approach has always been positive and little set backs that I might have had have been turned into something positive to work with rather than another disappointment at not being able to deal with my phobia. No matter what is going on in her own life Rebecca has never been anything but professional in all her dealings with me. That to me shows a great strength of character. There has never been a time in our sessions when she is not 100% focused on me. As I live almost 100 miles away from her our sessions now take place using Skype. These have progressed from weekly to six-weekly now. I have read of clients who have been in counselling for a long time and I can honestly say that I can not praise Rebecca enough for all that she has done for me so far. I value her professionalism, integrity, her common sense and above all our relationship very much. I hope that in one way or another she will be a part of my life for a long time to come.”
“I shared childhood memories of standing in the playground at school watching the other children play. If anyone walked by me I’d pull up my socks, adjust my hair, walk around, anything to give the impression I was occupied, rather than waiting to be included in the games. On speaking about this with Rebecca I realised this was due to not wanting to appear vulnerable (in need of anyone).
Discussing my need for friends and the importance of interaction with people (reaching out to others rather than waiting for others to befriend me) is helping me to recognize opportunities where I can attempt to get to know people around me.”
“I have had a succession of appointments with Rebecca. There are so many things I would like to say, Rebecca has always made me feel completely comfortable and safe in our treatment environment. I always felt that I could express whatever was on my mind, I have been through many challenges and health problems and I started my therapy flitting from one problem to another and I generally felt out of control of my life and well-being. Through my therapy I finally feel like I am on the right path going forward. I have the tools in place to try and work on my anxiety and from my sessions I have learnt so much about who I am. This has created a new turning point in my life. Rebecca’s skill set and professionalism have been invaluable to me during the time we have worked together. Rebecca Hill is an amazing Counsellor and I would highly recommend her to anyone I know. I wanted to show my appreciation for the time and treatment I have received.”
“I have been working with Rebecca for coming up to a year now and she has helped me change my life massively. Though discussing my problems and difficult experiences, Rebecca has shown me how I can deal with them differently. In doing this, I can protect myself from experiences that I find painful and move forward in situations that saw me going round and round in circles. Rebecca has helped my identify triggers and explained why I feel like I feel at times and we have looked at coping strategies. Things that I felt were small issues or silly that have played on my conscience for years, have been explored and I have been able to discuss them openly with Rebecca. Rebecca has shown me how to look at situations from a different perspective and not immediately fear the worst, which is a habit that I had got myself into. Throughout my sessions, Rebecca has listened, been understanding and sympathetic to my feelings and needs. Not once have I found it difficult to open up to Rebecca and her words of encouragement have worked wonders in helping me find me again!”
“I love working with Rebecca. The best bits about working with her is that she actually understands what you’re saying and going through. She doesn’t check her watch every five minutes like most counsellors do. She shows you she’s listening and makes you feel validated. I have had so many counsellors over the past few years. But none of them like Rebeccca. I knew after the first couple of sessions that I could really trust her and I knew it was safe to let my guards down. And it’s safe for me to say that I know once she’s graduated she’s gonna be such an amazing counsellor and help people change their lives for the better just like she did for me.”
