About Rebecca

Rebecca Burchell is a counsellor with three years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful space for people facing relationship strain, career crossroads, midlife shifts, anxiety or depression. Rebecca aims to help people feel heard and to make sense of difficult emotions and events.

She listens first, then gently helps clients talk through what led them to counselling. Conversations focus on important people, key life events and how those moments affect feelings and behaviour now. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to shift thinking from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what’s happened to me?”.

Rebecca’s background includes work as a school counsellor in a secondary school and two years at a placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse. That mix gives her experience with family conflict, parenting strain and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people coping with addictions, ADHD, body image and intimacy issues.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rebecca practises with warmth, sensitivity and compassion, and she encourages practical steps alongside reflective discussion. Her approach aims to help people build self-acceptance and find clearer ways forward.

If you want to explore changes in your life, difficult relationships, or feelings that feel overwhelming, Rebecca can help you talk things through and plan next steps. International clients can be accepted; please confirm session options and booking details before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches guide online and remote work

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and practical work. One common approach focuses on understanding how past events shape present reactions, helping people move from self-blame to clearer explanations of their experience. This is useful for those dealing with trauma, attachment concerns or responses to abandonment.

A second approach emphasises learning practical strategies to manage anxiety, stress and everyday coping. This involves simple exercises, breathing or grounding practices and behaviour changes that can reduce overwhelm and help with sleep, concentration and mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try methods that suit the person. Adjustments happen along the way so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make fitting therapy into a busy day easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone join from a different location if they have moved or are living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor sessions to fitting therapy into everyday life without promising any particular format.
