About Rebecca

Rebecca Hepburn is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and depression, with a particular focus on young adult issues. Rebecca works with concerns around identity, sexuality and neurodivergence, and she accepts international clients while working from the United Kingdom.

She uses straightforward, talk-based sessions that aim to help people feel heard and to clarify next steps. Sessions mix open listening with practical techniques when needed. Rebecca draws on Client-Centred methods to follow the person’s pace, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and Narrative Therapy to look at how life stories shape feelings.

Her background includes work in UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and private practice. That experience informs how she supports people through crises, bereavement and relationship breakdowns. Rebecca often helps clients who feel stuck after big changes such as leaving home, starting work or ending a relationship.

She also works with issues linked to trauma, abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, and with concerns around body image, codependency and intimacy. Rebecca pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they appear in sessions, and she has experience with neurodivergence and ADHD-related challenges.

The first meetings focus on what feels most urgent and practical steps that can follow. Sessions aim to balance noticing feelings with small changes people can try between meetings. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online booking flow.

How Rebecca uses different therapy approaches online

Rebecca draws on Client-Centred work which means sessions begin by listening and following what the person finds most important. This approach helps when someone is unsure where to start or needs a space to talk through immediate pressures.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties where shifting thoughts and routines helps day-to-day life.

Narrative Therapy is another tool she uses to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Reframing those stories can reduce shame and make different choices feel possible, especially around identity, sexuality and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will work collaboratively with each person to test what fits best, adjusting methods based on goals and preferences rather than using a single technique from the start.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around study, work or commuting, and making check-ins easier when life feels busy. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between meetings and to try exercises that suit day-to-day routines.
