About Rebecca
Counsellor and BACP member Rebecca Hepburn has five years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, low self-esteem and depression.
Rebecca keeps sessions straightforward. She listens, reflects and helps people talk through what matters to them. She uses a mix of talking approaches to match different issues and preferences.
Her background includes work in UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and private practice. That variety informs how she notices patterns in mood, behaviour and relationships. Rebecca often helps with relationship communication, grief, trans and LGBT issues, and difficulties linked to neurodivergence.
She uses client-centred ways of working to follow what a person brings to sessions. Cognitive behavioural methods are used when people want specific steps to manage anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at life stories, attachment and repeated patterns that affect how someone relates to others.
Rebecca also supports people facing trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, self-harm thoughts, eating and body-image problems, anger and parenting strain. She describes herself as practical and direct in helping people find clearer thinking and small changes that fit day-to-day life.
Sessions are offered in English and Rebecca accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the site matching tool to choose online counselling options and book a first session.
How Rebecca uses talking approaches online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what the client brings. The counsellor reflects what she hears and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want space to speak and be heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers clear steps to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and practical coping strategies. CBT sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings.
Rebecca treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She discusses what is working and what is not, and adapts her methods to match the client's goals and preferences. This is decided together over the first few sessions rather than assumed from the start.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a weekday break or between commitments, reducing travel time and making follow-up work easier to schedule. The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to attend when life is busy, while still being able to do practical CBT exercises and longer reflective conversations.
