Rebecca Burchell , BACP

Rebecca Burchell offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people facing relationship or life stress. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, depression, parenting strain, career crossroads and intimacy concerns. Rebecca aims to help people feel heard and less alone.

She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often written as BACP, and has three years of professional experience. Her work includes supporting people with family tensions, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiversity issues such as autism and attention difficulties.

Rebecca uses practical conversation to unpack what has happened and how someone responds to it. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and key life events to spot patterns that keep problems going. She encourages a move from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what’s happened to me?” so people can shift how they relate to themselves.

She has experience working in a secondary school with teenagers and staff, and spent two years supporting survivors of domestic abuse on placement. That background informs her sensitivity around difficult topics and complex life histories.

Sessions are client-paced and collaborative. Rebecca aims to help people process painful experiences, build self-acceptance and find more positive ways forward. Conversations are straightforward and practical, focused on real changes that matter to everyday life.

Approaches that inform online counselling

Rebecca works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding life events and how people respond to them. One common thread is a trauma-aware approach that looks at what has happened to someone and how that shapes current feelings and reactions. This helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and recovery after abuse.

Another practical strand involves talking through patterns in relationships and behaviour to spot repeated cycles. This kind of work supports people with intimacy issues, communication problems, codependency and boundary setting by making linkages between past experiences and present choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey and is worked out together. The therapist will listen to the person's goals, try different ways of working and adjust methods as progress becomes clearer. This collaborative stance aims to match techniques to the client's preferences and needs.

Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets someone write thoughts over time. These options give flexibility and help people keep continuity in their care while managing work, family or travel commitments.
