About Rochelle
Rochelle Armstrong is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with seven years' practice. She supports adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, identity questions and the long effects of past trauma. Her work also addresses family concerns, grief, addiction, and issues around intimacy and boundaries.
Rochelle tends to work with people who are managing a lot yet feel disconnected or overwhelmed. She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help clients notice patterns and make small changes that ease daily strain. Sessions are paced to what the client can manage.
Her background includes a degree in counselling and additional training in trauma-informed approaches and cultural identity work. She brings experience from facilitating talks and workshops on equality, diversity and inclusion, especially around mixed-identity experiences and belonging.
Therapy draws mainly on a person-centred stance. Rochelle mixes in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and reduce anxiety. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at relationship patterns and some Jungian exploration to support meaning and self-understanding.
Clients can expect a practical, plain-speaking style that explores current difficulties and the past influences that shape them. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, steadier emotion regulation and rebuilding a sense of identity and agency. The emphasis is on working together at a manageable pace and finding steps that fit day-to-day life.
How sessions work
How attachment and CBT translate to online work
Attachment-informed work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape emotional responses. Online, this may mean discussing recurring reactions to others and practising new ways of relating through conversation and reflective exercises.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. In remote sessions this often involves setting short tasks or experiments between meetings, and using practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That planning can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also support ongoing work such as between-session exercises and flexible scheduling to match parenting or work commitments.
