About Rebecca

Rebecca Hepburn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and relationship strain. She works with clients on grief, self‑esteem, depression and parenting pressures. Rebecca brings five years of UK practice experience and listens carefully to what matters to each person.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people find clearer thinking and small steps forward. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and practical ways to try new approaches between meetings. Rebecca draws on a mix of approaches to suit different concerns rather than relying on a single method.

Her background includes work in UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and private practice. That range of settings means she is used to supporting people at different stages - from acute stress to longer term patterns of unhappiness. Many clients begin by simply needing someone who will hear them without judgement.

Rebecca names Client‑Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy among her approaches. She adapts these to each person’s goals, using them to spot unhelpful thinking, tell a clearer life story, or work through early relationship patterns.

She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are carried out from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. International clients may be accommodated depending on arrangements agreed at first contact.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client‑Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens closely and follows what the client brings, helping them clarify needs and priorities. This approach is useful for people who need someone to hear their story and reflect it back without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and gives practical tools to try between sessions. CBT can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and mood by teaching simple patterns to change unhelpful thinking.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by retelling life events and noticing different themes. It can make space for new meanings and choices when old stories feel stuck or limiting.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rebecca works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That collaborative planning means the focus can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, shortening check‑ins between other commitments, or offering a quieter way to meet when time is tight. Registered and accredited professionals can use online sessions to support continuity of care and to bring therapeutic tools into everyday routines.
