Rochelle Armstrong, BACP

Rochelle Armstrong is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, and the effects of past trauma. Rochelle pays particular attention to cultural identity and mixed-identity experiences, aiming to help people feel more grounded and seen.

Her sessions are warm and non-judgemental. She works from a person-centred approach and listens for what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to manage anxious thoughts and attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns.

Rochelle has seven years of experience and a degree in counselling. She has worked with people dealing with life transitions, identity confusion, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, and emotional wounds from earlier life. She also runs talks and workshops on equality, diversity, and inclusion focused on identity and belonging.

In practice she aims to move at each client's pace. Sessions focus on understanding current difficulties and the past patterns that shape them. Practical steps such as thought-work or mindfulness can sit alongside deeper exploration of meaning and identity.

People who work with Rochelle often aim to reduce overwhelm, build clearer self-understanding, and strengthen relationships or self-worth. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports clients in finding their own resilience and values.

How Rochelle’s approaches translate to online counselling

Rochelle blends person-centred listening with practical techniques to help people manage anxiety and build self-understanding. Client-centred work means the conversation follows the client’s concerns and values, useful when navigating identity, grief, or relationship strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Attachment-informed work looks at long-term relationship patterns and how they shape current feelings. That approach can help people understand why they repeat certain dynamics and begin to make different choices in relationships. Together, these ways of working support both emotional healing and practical coping skills.

Finding the right mix is part of therapy. Rochelle will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. She treats the choice as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people join from another location when that helps them attend.
