About Rochelle
Rochelle Armstrong is a counsellor and a registered member of the BACP with seven years' experience. She supports adults with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, identity struggles and the effects of past trauma. She also works with people facing grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, and work-related strain.
Rochelle often meets people who seem to be holding it together but feel overwhelmed inside. She pays attention to cultural identity and mixed-identity experiences and helps people feel clearer about who they are. Her tone is direct and respectful; she aims to listen carefully and respond to each person's story.
Her main approach is person-centred counselling. That means the sessions focus on the person rather than a fixed set of techniques. She also uses cognitive behavioural methods to look at unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety. Attachment-based ideas are used to examine relationship patterns and how early experiences affect current feelings.
Rochelle draws on Jungian ideas when people want to explore meaning and deeper patterns in their life. She offers practical tools as well as reflective conversation, depending on what a client needs. She can talk about issues such as codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and caregiver stress.
She has a degree in counselling and delivers talks and workshops on equality, diversity and inclusion. Sessions are provided in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, people are asked to use the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Rochelle uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on the person's experience and priorities. This approach is about listening, reflecting and letting the client's concerns guide the session. It suits people who want a talking space to understand feelings and make choices.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. CBT offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns and closeness in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rochelle will discuss options with each client and agree a route forward that fits their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as the work evolves.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered professionals and therapists often find that remote sessions support continuity of care and practical access while keeping the focus on the client's goals and day-to-day life.
