About Rebecca
Rebecca Hepburn is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and low self-esteem. She has five years' experience supporting people through depression, parenting strain and the pressures of work and life change. Rebecca listens first, then helps clients find small practical steps forward.
She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Rebecca also supports people facing attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome related challenges, and identity concerns such as LGBT matters and body image. Her approach is flexible to each person's needs. Rebecca draws on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centred ways of working to help people tell and reframe their own stories.
She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice patterns of thought and behaviour, and psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing themes. These methods are used to make sense of difficulties and to plan manageable changes. Previous settings include UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and independent practice.
That background means she is used to supporting people through bereavement, separation and complex emotional problems. Rebecca aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk openly about what matters to them. Sessions are offered in English and Rebecca accepts international clients.
She works online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How Rebecca uses therapy online and different approaches
Rebecca commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people re-author their experiences. This approach looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem so they can choose different ways to move forward.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and building a trusting relationship. That helps people feel understood and able to think clearly about what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that change feelings and behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your situation. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help fit therapy around work, parenting and busy lives.
