Background and approach

Rochelle draws on practical tools as well as reflective conversation to help people feel steadier and clearer in day-to-day life. She combines client-centred work with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, attachment-informed approaches and Jungian-informed exploration. That mix helps when the aim is to reduce anxious thinking, understand relationship patterns, or discover personal meaning.

Rochelle also uses somatic ideas to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. Rochelle has a degree in counselling and seven years of clinical experience. She also delivers talks and workshops on equality, diversity and inclusion, often focusing on identity and belonging.

This background informs her work with clients who are exploring cultural or mixed-identity concerns. In sessions, practical steps and compassionate reflection sit alongside each other. Goals might include easing anxiety, repairing the effects of earlier wounds, improving relationships or strengthening a sense of self.

Rochelle works collaboratively so each person shapes the pace and focus of the work.

How online therapy uses attachment, somatic and client-centred work

Rochelle blends somatic ideas, attachment-informed work and client-centred practice to help people understand how feelings, relationships and body sensations connect. Somatic-informed work invites you to notice bodily signals and breathing patterns as a way to manage stress and overwhelm, which can be helpful for anxiety, trauma and emotional regulation. Attachment-based approaches look at recurring relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses, useful when feeling stuck in repeating cycles. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and accepted, which helps people build self-understanding and self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rochelle will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit best, based on their goals, needs and preferences. That means plans can change over time as progress and priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as specific options are arranged through the sign-up process. Many people find that remote sessions make it simpler to sustain regular contact while working on anxiety, identity questions and relationship patterns.
