About Rochelle

Rochelle Armstrong is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with seven years' experience. She supports adults through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strains, grief, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Rochelle also works with people facing identity questions, including mixed-identity and cultural identity concerns, and offers support around career pressures, ADHD, addictions and intimacy-related issues.

Rochelle uses straightforward, conversational sessions where people can talk about what feels urgent. She draws on client-centred work that focuses on what the person brings to each meeting. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going.

Her practice is informed by attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Rochelle includes Jungian perspectives to help people search for personal meaning and to work through identity questions. She keeps sessions practical and aimed at helping people manage day-to-day pressures alongside deeper emotional issues.

Rochelle has a degree in counselling and ongoing training in trauma-informed practice, cultural identity work and shame-resilience approaches. She also runs talks and workshops on equality, diversity and inclusion, often focusing on belonging and self-acceptance.

People who come to her often want clearer self-understanding, tools for anxiety, or help repairing relationship patterns. Her approach is collaborative and paced by the client, with attention to underlying attachment issues and present-day coping skills.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on the ways early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to map these patterns and practise different ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together; it often uses short exercises and practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre and follows their pace and priorities.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Rochelle will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most relevant. She will adapt techniques over time so therapy matches needs rather than forcing a single method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so it is important to confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. Some approaches, such as CBT, translate well to shorter practical check-ins, while attachment or Jungian exploration can be paced across longer conversations. If you want to check options, ask about session length and whether phone or video is offered when arranging the first appointment.
