Rebecca Burchell, BACP

Rebecca Burchell is a UK-credentialed counsellor with three years of professional experience and registration with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She supports people facing relationship tensions, family conflict, intimacy-related difficulties and career challenges, offering respectful, sensitive and compassionate care.

Rebecca recognises that life can present overwhelming situations - from anxiety and numbness to sadness and isolation - and understands how these experiences affect mental health. In her practice she focuses on listening attentively so clients can feel truly heard, then together exploring the thoughts, feelings and events that have brought them to therapy. Her approach invites a shift in perspective from asking "what is wrong with me?" to exploring "what has happened to me?"

Clients meet Rebecca in a warm counselling room in Lydd, Kent, and she prioritises pacing therapy to each individual. She discusses important relationships, significant life events and habitual responses to the environment in a way that places the client at the centre of the work. Alongside her private practice, Rebecca works as a school counsellor at a secondary school and has experience from a two-year placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse, bringing practical experience with teenagers and trauma-informed situations.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Support

Rebecca draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on exploring thoughts and feelings to increase self-understanding and emotional processing. These talking therapies help people unpack difficult experiences and improve relationships by identifying patterns and responses that cause distress.

She also uses practical, skills-focused methods that teach coping strategies for stress, anxiety and everyday challenges. These approaches are designed to build tools clients can use between sessions to manage emotions, navigate change and improve wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rebecca works collaboratively to determine what fits a client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust methods so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to access support from different locations and at flexible times. These formats allow registered professionals to provide consistent, ongoing care that fits around work, family and other commitments, while maintaining the same relational focus as in-person work.
