Rebecca Hepburn, BACP

Rebecca Hepburn is a counsellor with five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She works with issues such as grief, self-esteem, parenting pressures, anger and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps clients facing neurodivergence-related challenges, ADHD, and LGBT matters, including sexual and relationship difficulties.

Rebecca uses a conversational, listening-first style. She aims to make sessions feel like a calm space to talk things through. She starts by hearing the person's story and then helps them identify small steps forward that feel manageable.

Her background includes work in UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and independent practice. That mix gives her experience with a wide range of life situations and ages. Her BACP registration is included as a professional credential and reflects her standing with that body.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client's pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to look at thinking patterns, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories. Psychodynamic ideas may be brought in to notice repeating patterns in relationships.

Rebecca aims to support people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and codependency, as well as trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault issues. She encourages practical coping strategies alongside time to reflect. To begin, she asks people to outline their main concerns so they can plan a clear, steady way forward.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers small, practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns; this can suit anxiety, stress and mood concerns. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult stories they repeat and try new ways of understanding their experiences, which can be useful for identity, trauma and relationship themes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family schedules. It can also let people choose quieter or shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it possible to continue work even if someone moves countries. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt worksheets, short exercises and reflective conversation for remote sessions so the work stays practical and focused.
