Rebecca Armstrong , BACP

Rebecca Armstrong is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, family challenges, and periods of feeling stuck. She creates a calm, supportive environment where individuals can explore what is holding them back and identify practical steps to move forward. Her work emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and building strengths that help manage daily challenges and emotional pain.

She has particular experience supporting people who are neurodivergent or living with disabilities, helping them to cope in environments that may not always recognise or accommodate their needs. In those sessions Rebecca focuses on reducing self-doubt and imposter feelings while helping clients uncover and use their own resources to increase confidence and resilience. Her practice also addresses parenting, relationship and family issues, addiction, stress, ADHD, and other areas where people seek change and greater wellbeing.

Rebecca holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works collaboratively with each person to tailor therapy to their goals and circumstances, supporting them to understand themselves better and to build a more authentic, fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns, building skills, and addressing the impact of trauma and life stressors. One approach is a trauma-informed framework which helps people safely explore and process experiences of abuse or loss while developing coping strategies to reduce their ongoing impact. Another focus is skills-based work for mood and anxiety - practical techniques to manage overwhelming emotions, improve daily functioning, and reduce avoidance so that clients can engage more fully with life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rebecca collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the work as progress is made so the therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility needs. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and to access consistent support when it is most needed.
