Rebecca Burchell, BACP

Rebecca Burchell offers straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, stress or life changes. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can be truly heard and understood. Her approach suits people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in sadness, or unsure how to talk about their feelings. Rebecca uses clear, compassionate conversation to help people begin to make sense of their situation.

Rebecca is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She has worked with people dealing with relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, career problems and a wide range of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress and addictions. She has also supported people with neurodiverse needs, attachment and personality concerns, body image and sexual lifestyle questions including kink and BDSM culture.

Her background includes time spent as a school counsellor at a secondary school, where she worked with teenagers and staff, and a placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse. Those roles shaped a practical, person-centred style that focuses on listening first and tailoring the work to each person’s pace.

In sessions she helps people map what has happened to them, not what is wrong with them. Conversations cover important relationships, key life events and how those affect thoughts and behaviour. The goal is clearer self-understanding, improved coping and a gentler relationship with oneself.

Rebecca offers psychotherapy in English and welcomes international clients. She combines warmth and straightforward guidance to support people through difficult transitions and ongoing struggles.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding experiences and building practical coping skills. One common method she uses helps people tell the story of what happened to them rather than asking what is wrong with them, which can reduce shame and clarify patterns in relationships and behaviour. Another approach focuses on practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress and sleep problems through small, achievable changes that fit into daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs and goals. She tailors the plan as sessions progress so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, brief coaching or when someone prefers writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel.
