Rebecca Armstrong, BACP

Rebecca Armstrong is a psychotherapeutic counsellor who supports people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, family difficulties, or periods of feeling stuck. She creates a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what is getting in the way of their goals and identify practical steps to move forward.

Rebecca has a particular focus on working with people who are neurodivergent or who live with disabilities, helping them to manage a world that does not always recognise or accommodate their experiences. She works collaboratively to uncover personal strengths, address barriers such as imposter syndrome or persistent self-doubt, and build greater confidence in daily life and relationships.

Rebecca is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional training and commitment to ongoing development. She aims to help clients better understand themselves, develop tools to cope with life’s challenges, and create a life that feels more authentic and aligned with their values.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's needs. One approach is trauma-informed work, which focuses on understanding how past harm affects thoughts, emotions, and relationships and supports gradual, safe processing of those experiences to reduce their ongoing impact. Another approach is skills-focused therapy that teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, stress, or addictive behaviours - these techniques help clients build coping strategies they can use in everyday life. Rebecca also adopts neurodiversity-affirming practices that recognise and validate the experiences of autistic and neurodivergent clients while adapting pace and communication to suit individual needs.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each client and adjust methods as therapy progresses so that the work fits the person rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to engage with a licensed professional from wherever the client is, reducing travel time and allowing sessions to fit around work, family, and other commitments.
