Rebecca Burchell, BACP

Rebecca Burchell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She offers a respectful, sensitive approach and aims to help people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship and family tensions, or major life changes. Rebecca focuses on listening closely so clients feel heard and understood before moving forward.

She works with a wide range of concerns including intimacy issues, career difficulties, stress, addiction and sleep or eating problems. Rebecca also supports people dealing with trauma, identity and LGBT matters, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication difficulties and the particular needs that can arise in blended families and caregiving roles.

In sessions she helps people move from asking “what’s wrong with me?” to “what’s happened to me?” Her practice centres on exploring thoughts, feelings and life events, and on noticing how people respond to their environment. She aims to pace work to each person’s needs and to help them develop greater self-acceptance over time.

Rebecca combines private practice with work in educational and specialist settings, including a counselling role in a secondary school and experience supporting survivors of domestic abuse. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people notice and change patterns in thinking and behaviour. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting; this can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach focuses on understanding relationships and attachment - looking at how past experiences shape current reactions and connection with others, which can help with intimacy and family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful for the presenting problems, goals and personal preferences. That collaboration guides which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or an option that does not require being on camera, depending on how sessions are offered. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the available online and in-person options before booking so you can choose what best fits your routine.
