Our Story

Rebecca Wilde

Founder of The Gypsy, Roma and Traveller+ Therapists Network.

Rebecca is a mental health professional, researcher and advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion. Lived experience is woven with an academic foundation in anthropological research and anti-oppressive practice.

Research interests include belonging, identity, intersectionality, diversity and community. As a member of the Traveller Pride Artists Collective, Rebecca also uses art to explore, celebrate, and campaign around LGBTQ+ identity, cultural heritage and experiences of multiple marginalisation.

Advocating for greater representation of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller+ individuals within the counselling profession, Rebecca works to improve mental health accessibility. The invitation is open to counsellors, therapists and mental health professionals from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller+ backgrounds alongside allies to join a growing network of practitioners committed to enhancing mental health outcomes across the community.

As practitioners, we have the power to drive systemic change by supporting initiatives that bring greater inclusivity into practice. It’s time we genuinely amplify Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller+ voices in mental health through greater representation, dedicated training, and a strong commitment to accessibility.
