Rebecca Chapman, BACP

Rebecca Chapman offers straightforward, compassionate support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She greets each person with respect and aims to make sessions feel calm and manageable. Rebecca uses clear language and practical conversation to help people take small steps toward feeling better.

She draws on six years of professional experience working with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and relationship concerns. Rebecca also helps with self-esteem, sleeping problems, anger and coping with major life changes. Her approach is adapted to what each person brings to sessions rather than following a fixed formula.

Rebecca combines ideas from attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to focus on how relationships and early experiences shape current feelings. She uses trauma-focused principles when past events are causing ongoing distress. Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic concepts inform how she notices internal parts and repeated patterns that keep people stuck.

In practical terms she aims to build a clear plan together. That may include learning how to recognise triggers, practising new ways of communicating, developing self-soothing skills or changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Sessions move at a pace set by the person attending.

Rebecca works with adults in the United Kingdom and runs online sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. She holds BACP accreditation, and conducts a short matching process at the start so therapy can begin in a way that fits each person.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Rebecca draws on attachment-based work to notice how early relationships affect current feelings and patterns, which can help when trust, abandonment or connection are issues. Client-centred practice means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the person’s pace and concerns. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events continue to cause distress, helping people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Rebecca works collaboratively to identify which methods feel most useful based on the person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. That way the work stays relevant and responsive rather than fixed from the start.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people juggling work, caregiving or mobility limits. Video calls let visual cues shape the conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, while live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to keep a regular routine and to try therapy in a way that fits everyday life.
