About Fathom Therapy
My name is Rebecca Flintham. I am an experienced integrative therapist and have worked for many years in training and facilitating mental health support groups for Mind. I draw on a number of different theoretical approaches and work in a way where I put our relationship at the heart of the work we do together.
I won't tell you what I think you should do, as I haven't lived your life and what might be right for me won't necessarily be right for you. So I won't give you advice but I will go through it with you and, like detectives, we can work it out together.
"Becka has a rare ability to help people tackle the most deeply rooted issues in a gentle but determined way. I started our sessions after a domestic violence assault and as time progressed, Becka assisted me in overcoming issues that had plagued me for decades. I had a painful anxiety symptom in my throat as well as a history of suicide attempts, substance abuse, low self-esteem and unhealthy relationships. Becka enabled me to recognise and process the trauma behind the pain, sharing techniques which are now an invaluable part of my toolkit. Her approach is pragmatic, thoughtful and inspiring - always empowering. My life is no longer driven by my angry, hurting inner child; but by my fully integrated, loving self. I will be forever grateful to Becka for helping me finally free myself from the rut I was stuck in for so long. I am overjoyed that I can now navigate and direct my life in a confident and positive way. I wholeheartedly recommend Becka - you could not find a better person to journey those rocky paths with." (Testimonial by S.M. 2020).
