About Rebecca

Rebecca Hepburn is a counsellor who supports people facing eating and food-related issues alongside anxiety, stress, depression and relationship problems. She also helps with grief, low self-esteem, parenting challenges and anger. Rebecca works with clients who are navigating neurodivergence, identity concerns and trauma-related difficulties.

She uses a straightforward, listening-first style. Sessions aim to help clients feel heard, name what matters and try practical ways to manage upsetting thoughts and feelings. Rebecca often combines talking therapies that focus on present concerns with exploration of life patterns that keep problems recurring.

Her approach draws on client-centred work that prioritises the client’s view, cognitive behavioural ideas that look at thoughts and behaviours, and narrative methods that help rewrite problematic stories. Psychodynamic ideas also inform her practice, especially when life patterns and early relationships seem linked to current problems.

Rebecca has five years of experience working in UK psychiatric hospitals, schools and private practice. That range has shaped a flexible style that suits short-term work and longer conversations. She describes herself as someone who listens with empathy and helps people find clarity and strength.

Sessions are conducted in English and Rebecca is based in the United Kingdom. People can expect practical, down-to-earth conversations that focus on what they want to change and how to take the next small steps.

How Rebecca uses talking therapies online

Rebecca draws on client-centred approaches that put the person’s experience first, offering a space to be listened to and to make sense of difficult feelings. This approach is useful for people wanting empathy and a space to explore concerns such as eating problems, grief or relationship stress.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help identify upsetting thoughts and test small changes in behaviour. CBT-style techniques can support practical changes in sleep, eating patterns, anxiety and mood by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which approaches to try. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to the issues and to what feels most helpful for the client.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session types when you book. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help clients maintain steady progress while balancing everyday life.
