Rochelle Armstrong, BACP

Rochelle Armstrong is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports adults dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, identity struggles and the long-term effects of past trauma. Rochelle has a particular interest in cultural identity and mixed-identity experiences and aims to help people feel more grounded and seen.

Rochelle tends to meet people where they are. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space and works at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations focus on practical ways to ease overwhelming feelings and on understanding patterns that keep problems repeating.

Her approach is largely person-centred, which means she listens closely and follows the client’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns. At times she brings Jungian-informed reflection for clients who want to look at meaning and identity.

Rochelle has seven years of experience and holds a degree in counselling. She has training in trauma-informed approaches and in work with cultural and mixed-race identity topics. She also runs talks and workshops about equality, diversity and inclusion, with a focus on belonging and self-acceptance.

People come to Rochelle for many issues including grief, relationship difficulties, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, ADHD-related challenges, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. Her aim is to help people reconnect with their strengths and to build clearer, kinder ways of relating to themselves and others.

How Rochelle’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can help identify repeating behaviours and create safer ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy places the person’s priorities at the centre, with the counsellor listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and topics. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rochelle will discuss goals, preferences and comfort levels and will collaboratively decide which methods to try. That means sessions can shift over time as needs change, and you both check in about what is helping.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. It can also let clients use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflection and practical tasks to work well in a remote setting.
