About Rebecca

Rebecca Burchell offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship strain, anxiety, career change or life transitions. She aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and to help clients feel heard. Sessions focus on moving from feeling stuck to finding manageable steps forward. Rebecca is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.

Rebecca uses a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. She helps people talk about what has happened to them rather than what is wrong with them. Common topics include relationship and intimacy issues, family conflict, stress, addiction concerns, low mood and self-esteem, ADHD, trauma, and struggles with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with career pressures and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes three years of professional practice and work as a school counsellor in a secondary school. She has also spent two years at a counselling placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse. These roles feed into a practical approach that balances listening with gentle encouragement to try new ways of coping.

In sessions Rebecca focuses on the person’s story, key life events, and how they respond to people and situations. She works at the client’s pace and helps set realistic aims for therapy. The goal is to process difficult experiences, build self-acceptance and develop clearer ways of managing everyday stressors.

Clients who want to begin can use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Rebecca accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How Rebecca uses therapeutic techniques online

Rebecca’s biography notes evidence-based therapeutic techniques are part of her work, which typically includes ways of talking through difficult events and practical coping skills. One common approach is narrative-style work that looks at the story a person tells about themselves and the events they have lived through. This helps reframe painful experiences and allows people to move from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what’s happened to me?”. Another frequently used method focuses on developing coping strategies for anxiety, stress and sleep or eating difficulties. This involves learning simple routines, pacing techniques and small behavioural changes that make day-to-day life more manageable. These techniques can help when feeling overwhelmed or when emotions feel hard to control. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about aims, preferences and what has felt helpful in the past. Together they will agree on the methods to try and review progress as they go, adjusting the plan if needed. Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities or study because it removes travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer to meet in person or need a particular format, check the current options when you arrange your first appointment.
