About Rebecca

Rebecca Burchell offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship and life stressors. She works with those struggling with anxiety, low mood, difficult family dynamics, intimacy concerns and career uncertainty. Rebecca aims to help people feel heard and understood in simple, steady conversation before moving towards change.

She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work has included a placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse and a role as a school counsellor for teenagers and staff. These settings shaped a straightforward, person-centred way of working.

In sessions she encourages people to tell their story and to shift from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what’s happened to me?”. Rebecca listens for the patterns that cause pain - communication breakdowns, attachment worries, or repeated stress responses - and helps clients think through new ways to respond.

Her approach is compassionate and paced to the individual. She talks through feelings, past events and current relationships, and helps people find practical steps to manage anxiety, sleep or addictive behaviours. Parents can expect support with parenting stress and body-image or self-esteem concerns.

Rebecca believes therapy is collaborative. She works alongside each client to set realistic goals and gently build skills for coping with change, relationship dilemmas and everyday pressures. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on making sense of feelings and improving day-to-day coping. One common strand is person-centred work which centres the client’s story and emphasizes being heard; this helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries by creating space to process emotions. Another frequent element is practical problem-solving and coping skills work, which looks at specific steps you can try to manage stress, sleep problems, addictive behaviours or career challenges.

Finding the right method is a joint process. Rebecca will discuss options with each person and adapt her approach to fit their goals and preferences. Together you will try approaches, review how they feel in practice, and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity when life circumstances change, while still allowing collaborative, goal-focused sessions with a registered professional.
