Rebecca Stambridge

I work Tuesday to Thursday 10am to 4pm and work online only.

I specialise in helping adults who appear confident on the outside but struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety and a fear of rejection. If you overthink social interactions, feel responsible for others’ happiness, people-please to feel secure, and lie awake replaying conversations, I offer practical tools for long term change.

Does this sound like you?

You may seem capable and together to others, yet inside you live with a near-constant fear of disapproval. You worry about what people think of you, feel deeply affected by perceived rejection, and struggle to switch your mind off. Overthinking follows you into the night, leaving you exhausted and on edge.

Friendships can feel especially painful. You might worry that friends are annoyed with you, fear losing them if you say no or are crushed when people cancel or seem close to others.

Socialising often feels stressful rather than enjoyable, as you replay conversations afterwards and question how you came across.

At work, anxiety may show up as imposter syndrome, fear of making mistakes, overworking, or difficulty setting boundaries. You may feel responsible for keeping everyone happy and find it hard to ask for help or put your own needs first.

You might turn to social media to distract yourself, only to end up comparing yourself to others and feeling worse — reinforcing the belief that everyone else finds life and relationships easier than you do.

Many of the clients I work with carry wounds from childhood where they never felt enough, couldn't rely on adult around them to meet their needs or felt they needed to make everyone else happy.

In therapy, we work gently and collaboratively to understand where these patterns come from, why they make sense but help you create new ones that work for you. 

I am trained in a variety of proven and practical approaches which are particularly useful for low self esteem and anxiety. I love working with people who are committed to change by implementing the tools I offer.

These includes CBT to help you generate more helpful ways of looking at things, Mindfulness to help you regulate anxiety and overthinking and Compassion Based Approaches to cultivate kindness instead of self criticism.

I am also trained in EMDR which means I can help you process stressful and traumatic events from your past which are shaping your present. 

You can start using these tools straight away to reduce anxiety but also work towards lasting changes. 

Clients that work with me feel:

Calmer and more confident in daily life, more comfortable in their own skin and more secure in relationships; Able to regulate their emotions at home and at work; They’re also able to prioritise themselves more without fear of disapproval, be more present and joyful in life, manage work stress and have a better work life balance. 

Before you decide to work with me I offer a free 30 min consultation.

If you feel we are a good fit then the first session is spent exploring in depth the thoughts and feelings impacting on your daily life. We will also explore what events might have happened in the past which is causing the current challenges and agree specific goals to work towards.

Each session I will send guided practices and resources so that you can work on yourself in between sessions and beyond. 

I am see clients Tuesday to Thursday 10am-4pm.

I work online and also face to face from my therapy room in Glossop, Derbyhire.

I help adults in their 20s/30s struggling with anxiety & low self esteem. Do you want to stop overthinking social interactions & friendships? Overcome people pleasing, perfectionism & work stress? I offer proven tools for change.

Are friendships stressful because you often worry they are mad at you, find it hard to be yourself or fear losing them if you let them down?

Perhaps socialising is no longer fun because of overthinking every social interaction and lying awake at night wondering how you came across?

Do you try to distract yourself with social media but start comparing yourself to others and feel worse?

Is work overwhelming because a fear of making mistakes or being an imposter leads to overworking, overthinking and an inability to put in bounderies?

Would you like to breakfree from overthinking the past, and predicting the future, so that you can make the most of life again in the present?
