About Rebecca

Rebecca Armstrong is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who helps people facing a wide range of concerns. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, addictions and relationship strains. Rebecca also works with issues linked to parenting, fertility and intimacy, and with people exploring gender and sexual identity as part of LGBT concerns.

She has five years' experience and holds BACP registration, which means she meets professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Rebecca aims to make sessions straightforward and practical, focusing on what matters to each person in their day-to-day life.

Rebecca often supports people who are neurodivergent or who live with chronic pain, illness or disability. In sessions she looks for strengths to build on, and for small changes that reduce overwhelm and improve coping. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and issues around trust and intimacy.

Her work covers trauma and abuse, family problems, separation and domestic violence, as well as ADHD, anger and impulsivity. She can also help with shame, guilt and recovery from infidelity. The goal is to help people understand themselves better and find workable ways forward.

Rebecca welcomes international clients and offers services in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire then arrange sessions according to the scheduling options available.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Rebecca's practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and on building practical coping skills. One useful approach helps people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour, then try small experiments to change unhelpful habits and reduce anxiety or low mood. Another approach emphasises understanding attachment, trust and relationship patterns, which can help with intimacy, abandonment issues and family conflicts.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as the work progresses. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies suit day-to-day life and what to try next.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make it simpler to meet across different locations, which helps international clients. The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Overall, online work aims to make therapy more accessible while still allowing for thoughtful, goal-focused conversations.
