Rebecca Hepburn , BACP

Rebecca Hepburn is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career pressure and life changes. Rebecca also works with people navigating neurodivergence, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and difficulties such as anger or sleep and eating problems.

Her style is calm and listening-led. She aims to make people feel heard and to help them name what’s causing pain. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding the past. Rebecca uses conversational, plain language so people can find clarity quickly.

Rebecca draws on five years of experience in UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and private practice. That background means she is used to steady, often difficult conversations and working with a wide range of life challenges. She describes clients as experts in their own lives and looks to build on each person’s strengths.

Her clinical approaches include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and narrative and psychodynamic perspectives. These methods are adapted to what each person needs, from short-term coping strategies to exploring longer standing patterns. Rebecca works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.

People who choose Rebecca can expect straightforward sessions that balance listening and practical change. She explains options clearly and helps people set small, achievable goals. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. The therapist reflects and supports people to find their own solutions, which can help with confidence, grief and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It offers straightforward exercises and small experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by telling and reworking their stories. This can be useful for issues like shame, body image, identity and long-term patterns that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps people try short-term strategies or explore deeper material as needed.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit practical needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy schedule. Live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family and travel commitments.
