Rebecca Merry

Hello, I’m Rebecca. I am a trainee counsellor with CPPD London. I am deeply passionate about advocating for human rights and have years of experience working alongside refugee communities in France, Greece and the UK. I have worked with people from all over the world and believe that an awareness of culture is an important factor in developing a strong, understanding and trusting relationship, especially within a therapeutic space.

From my work in the humanitarian sector, I understand burn-out and the guilt associated with working in an emotionally demanding role and its impact in other areas of life. I am here with you to explore whatever comes up and can draw from my work and personal experience to ensure you feel supported, valued and heard.

I offer a space that is yours to share what you want and a space that is free from judgement. I realised through my direct experience supporting individuals seeking asylum and my local community that being heard and valued can make the world of difference. I respect those who share their experiences with me, and in return I hope to create a trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore.

I believe that counselling should be accessible to everyone and so my schedule is flexible to work around you, online or in-person.
