Rebecca Armstrong, BACP

Rebecca Armstrong is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and family problems. She also supports those coping with neurodiversity, chronic illness or disability and the daily strains these can bring. Rebecca offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through what feels hard and to find practical ways to move forward.

She aims to uncover strengths and reduce self-doubt and imposter feelings. Sessions focus on clear steps that fit into everyday life, such as breaking problems into manageable parts and testing small changes. Rebecca listens closely and tailors the work to each person’s pace and needs.

Her practice pays attention to the emotional impact of long-term health challenges and the practical adjustments they demand. She can help people sort through relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief and issues around intimacy and trust. The approach is plain-speaking and goal-focused while staying responsive to emotional experience.

Rebecca has five years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults across a range of concerns including ADHD, trauma, addiction and compassion fatigue. Sessions and next steps are arranged after an initial matching and scheduling process.

People who choose Rebecca usually want conversational, practical therapy that balances emotional support with simple tools. If someone prefers structured tasks or a gentler exploratory pace, she will adapt the work to suit their aims and abilities.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work and on exploring emotional patterns. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then practise different ways of responding to stress and relationships. This can help with anxiety, depression and repeated cycles like avoidance or impulsivity.

Another approach concentrates on understanding attachment, abandonment and relationship patterns. It helps people notice how past relationships shape current fears around intimacy, trust and commitment, and then try out new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, strengths and life situation. She checks in regularly to make sure the work still fits and adjusts pace or focus when needed.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently available before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, reduces travel, and allows shorter check-ins when time is tight. Different formats can suit different needs - for example, the option to be off camera can make conversations easier, or a phone call can be quicker when bandwidth is limited - so Rebecca will discuss practical arrangements that best support each person’s therapy.
