Rebecca Armstrong, BACP

Rebecca Armstrong is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with five years of experience who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, family difficulties, and moments of feeling stuck. As a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), she combines professional standards with a warm, attentive approach to help people explore what is holding them back and identify practical ways to move forward.

She has particular expertise in working with people who are neurodiverse or who live with disabilities, helping them make sense of experiences that are often misunderstood and find approaches that fit their lives. Rebecca focuses on uncovering strengths, reducing barriers such as impostor syndrome and persistent self-doubt, and building confidence and agency. Her practice also addresses parenting, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, stress, addictions, grief, intimacy challenges, and compassion fatigue, among other concerns.

Rebecca blends empathic listening with goal-focused work to support each person in understanding themselves better, managing life changes, and creating a more authentic and fulfilling life. She offers therapy and coaching tailored to individual needs, working collaboratively to find the right pace and direction for each client.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Rebecca uses evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding how past experiences and current patterns affect daily life. A trauma-informed approach helps people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable, reduce overwhelming reactions, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. Attachment-focused work looks at relationship patterns formed in early life and helps people develop more secure ways of relating, which can support improvements in intimacy, trust, and communication. Skill-building and coping strategies teach practical tools for managing anxiety, stress, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges so someone can use them in everyday situations.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt techniques so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place, with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging available. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to access a registered professional from different locations, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client.
