Rebecca Burchell, BACP

Rebecca Burchell is a BACP-accredited counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She specialises in relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues and career-related difficulties, and also supports people coping with anxiety, stress, depression, addiction and a wide range of life changes. Rebecca aims to treat everyone she meets with respect, sensitivity and compassion, helping people move from a sense of "what's wrong with me?" to an exploration of "what's happened to me?"

She recognises how overwhelming emotions can become - whether that takes the form of persistent worry and anxiety, a sense of numbness, or feeling isolated with no-one to turn to - and she focuses on providing an environment where people feel genuinely heard. In sessions she works collaboratively to explore thoughts, feelings and the events that have led someone to seek counselling, paying attention to important relationships and life experiences and how a person responds to their surroundings.

Rebecca sees clients in a counselling room in Lydd, Kent, where she endeavours to create a warm and compassionate space for therapeutic work. Alongside her private practice, she works at a secondary school supporting teenagers and teaching staff, and she previously completed a two-year counselling placement supporting survivors of domestic abuse. Rebecca's BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
