Background and approach

Sessions are kept practical and down-to-earth, with time spent on what matters most to the person in front of her. Her style is flexible and collaborative. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when the situation calls for it. Therapy might include talking things through, making sense of painful events, and learning tools to manage anxiety, stress or low mood. Becki aims to work at a pace that suits each person and to adapt sessions to individual needs.

If someone is unsure where to begin, Becki encourages taking a first step and seeing how the process feels. Practical planning and steady support are offered alongside exploration of deeper feelings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own pace and direction; it supports issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and identity exploration by prioritising the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and can be useful for processing grief, trauma and relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively, based on your goals and how you respond over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat can be a shorter check-in option, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These different formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
