Rebecca Islam — Marriage & Trauma Specialist

"Healing is not a destination — it is the gentle act of returning to yourself."

Rebecca Islam,
LPC, LMFT

With over a decade working at the intersection of relational trauma and emotional recovery, I specialize in helping women reclaim their identity, voice, and sense of safety — after abuse, loss, or the quiet devastation of a broken heart.

My practice is built on one conviction: you are not broken. You are a person who has endured extraordinary pain, and you deserve extraordinary care in return.

Tailored paths
toward wholeness

A framework built
on safety first.

My approach is integrative — drawing from the most effective, trauma-informed modalities available, woven together by genuine human care.

1

Safety & Stabilisation

Before we process anything, we build the internal and external resources that make healing possible without retraumatisation.

2

Processing & Integration

Using EMDR, narrative therapy, and somatic approaches to gently revisit and reprocess what happened at a pace you control.

3

Reconnection & Growth

Rebuilding your relationship with yourself, developing new patterns, and stepping into a future that belongs entirely to you.

EMDR Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing
Somatic Therapy Body-based trauma release
Gottman Method Research-based relationship science
Narrative Therapy Rewriting your story on your terms
CBT Cognitive restructuring & behaviour change
Mindfulness Present-moment grounding

Words from women
who walked this path

"I came in barely able to speak about what happened to me. Two years later, I have a voice, boundaries, and a life I'm genuinely proud of. Dr. Wells didn't just help me survive — she helped me live."

Mara K. Domestic Abuse Survivor

"After my divorce I felt like a ghost in my own life. The grief work we did together was the first time anyone helped me mourn what I'd actually lost — not just the marriage, but the future I thought I'd have."

Priya S. Divorce & Loss

"I was sceptical of online therapy but the sessions with Dr. Wells were the most present and safe I've ever felt in a therapeutic relationship. She has a rare gift for holding space without judgement."

Nneka A. Trauma Recovery

"The Healing Circle changed everything. Finding other women who truly understood my experience — without explanation, without shame — was something I didn't know I needed until I had it."

Sarah O. Group Healing Circle

"I thought I would never trust again. Dr. Wells patiently helped me understand that the issue was never my capacity to trust — it was learning who is worthy of it. That reframe changed my entire life."

Amara L. Relationship Trauma

You may be
wondering…

There is no "ready." If part of you is curious about healing — even while the rest of you is scared — that's enough. Our first session is a gentle conversation, not a commitment. You set the pace entirely.

Trauma therapy uses specialised modalities (like EMDR) that work with the nervous system, not just the mind. This allows us to process experiences that talk therapy alone often cannot reach — memories stored in the body, not just the intellect.

Research consistently shows that online therapy is equally effective for most concerns, including trauma. Many clients find it easier to open up from their own safe space, and the flexibility removes barriers to consistent attendance — which is key to progress.

Healing doesn't have a fixed timeline and I won't pretend it does. Some clients feel significant shifts in 8–12 weeks. Others work with me for a year or more. We regularly review your progress together, and you always decide when you've reached what you came for.

Yes. All sessions are strictly confidential, protected by professional ethical codes and applicable law. The only exceptions are the narrow legal requirements around imminent risk of harm — which I will always explain clearly at the outset.
