Rebecca Burchell, BACP

Rebecca Burchell is a UK-credentialed counsellor with three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, a professional counselling registration. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, intimacy concerns and career challenges, and approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

Rebecca recognises that life can present difficult moments that affect mental health - from overwhelming anxiety and persistent worry to numbness, sadness or feeling unable to cope. For some, talking to friends or family can feel awkward or impossible, and talking with a therapist can offer a different kind of listening. In sessions she aims to help clients feel truly heard while exploring the thoughts, feelings and events that have led them to seek counselling.

Therapy with Rebecca is paced around the individual and focuses on understanding responses to important people and life events, moving the narrative from "what's wrong with me?" to "what's happened to me?" She believes counselling can support processing experiences, developing a healthier mindset and fostering greater self-acceptance and wellbeing.

Alongside a private practice, Rebecca works as a school counsellor at a secondary school supporting teenagers and staff, and she has two years' experience at a counselling placement for survivors of domestic abuse. Her counselling room is located in Lydd Kent, where she offers a warm, compassionate environment for therapeutic work.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online therapy options

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand patterns of thought and behaviour and develop practical coping skills. These approaches can be useful for issues such as anxiety, stress, addictions and challenges in daily functioning because they focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and building new ways of responding.

She also uses relational and attachment-focused work to explore relationship dynamics, family patterns and intimacy concerns. This kind of work helps clients understand how past and current relationships shape feelings and behaviours and supports change in how they relate to others.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options openly and adapts the work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living at a distance. These formats make it easier to fit consistent therapeutic work into everyday life while maintaining continuity with a registered professional or therapist.
