Rebecca Armstrong, BACP

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Rebecca uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine practical problem-solving with emotional understanding. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood; it suits people who want clear steps to try between sessions. Another approach emphasises exploring attachment and relationship patterns to understand recurring difficulties in close relationships and intimacy; this helps people who want to change how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and pace. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something isn’t helping, so the work evolves in response to what the client finds useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or want ongoing, low-key contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and allow continued progress even when meeting in person is difficult.
