About Rebecca

Rebecca Burchell welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to turn. She writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Rebecca offers calm, respectful listening and helps people talk through what matters right now.

She draws on three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Rebecca’s work often focuses on relationship and intimacy difficulties, family and blended family concerns, career questions and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction-related issues and ADHD-related challenges.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Rebecca helps people name what is happening, look at how it affects daily life, and try different ways of responding. She pays attention to communication, boundaries, and patterns that repeat in relationships. She can also help when concerns involve body image, sleep, eating, or chronic health and caring responsibilities.

Alongside her private practice, Rebecca works in a secondary school and has experience from a placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse. That background informs a careful, trauma-aware way of working and an emphasis on being heard and understood.

Rebecca invites clients to move from asking "what's wrong with me?" to noticing "what's happened to me?" She aims to progress at each person’s pace and to help people develop clearer ways to cope, make decisions, and build steadier routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Brief summaries of common evidence-based techniques help explain what to expect. One approach focuses on talking through patterns in relationships and behaviour to spot repeating cycles and try small, practical changes that reduce conflict and improve communication. This can help with intimacy issues, commitment worries and relationship strain.

A second approach emphasises processing difficult or painful experiences by exploring feelings, memories and the meanings people attach to events. That kind of work can be useful for trauma, grief, or feeling numb and disconnected after hard experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with each person to agree what feels most useful, trying different ways of working and adjusting as goals and needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to join from another location. It also allows continuity of care for people living further away or moving between places. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt techniques for talking remotely while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional processing.
