About Rebecca

Rebecca Burchell is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or confusing life changes. She welcomes conversations about relationship and intimacy worries, career stress, parenting strains and other everyday pressures. Rebecca uses a warm, respectful stance so people feel truly heard when they first arrive.

Her work focuses on talking through thoughts and everyday habits to understand what has brought someone to counselling. Sessions look at important people, key life events and how those things shape current responses. The goal is to move from a sense of "what's wrong with me?" to understanding "what's happened to me?"

Rebecca trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, and has three years of professional experience. Alongside her private work she supports students and staff as a school counsellor and has experience from a placement helping survivors of domestic abuse.

In sessions she moves at each person’s pace and keeps the focus on practical, manageable steps. This can include spotting patterns in thinking, trying small changes to daily habits, and practising ways to cope with strong feelings. Rebecca describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client stays at the centre.

People often come to Rebecca for help with stress, trauma, body image, addiction or parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, attachment issues, and relationship communication problems. If you want to talk things through and find clearer ways to manage day-to-day life, Rebecca offers a straightforward, compassionate approach.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes. Cognitive-style approaches look at thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and offer simple experiments to test different ways of thinking. Behavioural strategies break big problems into small, doable routines to reduce stress and improve sleep or daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the mix as they learn what helps most, with the client guiding the pace and focus.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar location or who need flexibility around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists adapt exercises and check-ins to work well across different settings, aiming to keep the focus practical and action-oriented.
