Why Mycore

Mycore integrates evidence-informed psychotherapy with a neuroscience-informed, biopsychosocial perspective.


The work moves beyond simplified explanations. It considers the interaction between brain, body, sleep, autonomic regulation, memory, health, identity, relationships and environment.


This is support that is both clinically grounded and relevant to real life.


When load exceeds capacity, flexibility can narrow, protection can activate and agency can reduce.
 

Understanding the pattern is often the beginning of changing it.

Retained Psychological Support

Retained Psychological Support

Retained Psychological Support

Reliable support when pressure is not predictable.

Some organisations do not need a large wellbeing programme. They need trusted access to senior psychological judgement when something complex happens.


Mycore retainer support may include:


leadership consultation, critical-incident support, confidential staff provision, psychologically informed workshops.  Guidance around high -impact workplace situations.

Menopause in Context™

Retained Psychological Support

Retained Psychological Support

 Menopause does not happen in isolation.

Changing hormones are only part of the picture. Sleep, health, pain, work, caregiving, memory, relationships, neurodivergence. Plus cumulative load of daily life can all shape how menopause is experienced.


Menopause in Context™ is a developing programme of small-group workshops and individual formulation support for women seeking a more complete understanding of changing capacity.

Leadership & Psychological Expertise

Senior psychological judgement shaped by lived, clinical and organisational experience.

 Rebecca Downes is the Director of Mycore Psychological Consulting Ltd, a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist and Senior Psychological Practitioner.


Before retraining in psychotherapy, Rebecca worked in strategic HR — experience that continues to shape her understanding of leadership pressure, organisational dynamics and high-responsibility roles.


Since 2008, she has provided psychological support across private practice and demanding professional environments, including retained support, leadership consultation and critical-incident work.


Her approach combines calm judgement, emotional intelligence, clear boundaries and a neuroscience-informed biopsychosocial perspective. Rebecca is also developing the NSCF–CTA™ Framework, helping individuals and organisations understand how load, capacity, threat and agency can shape wellbeing and performance. The framework supports careful clinical pacing, helping identify when deeper therapeutic work may be appropriate and when the priority is to reduce load, strengthen capacity and increase safety first. 


When load exceeds available capacity, flexibility can narrow, protection can activate and agency can reduce.
