About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of therapeutic experience. She trained in person-centred practice and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Becky aims to give a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Becky listens carefully and follows the pace set by each person. She focuses on empathy, validation and supporting clients to draw on their own strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are structured around what the client wants to explore rather than a fixed agenda. Her background includes work in an NHS GP practice, with imprisoned women in a high-security setting, and for a mental health charity in a deprived area. Becky also holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and carried out research on fear and phobia during her degree.
These experiences inform her understanding of anxiety, trauma and other difficulties. In therapy she helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictions. She also supports concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, body image, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, career questions, ADHD and coping with life changes.
Becky offers sessions online using live chat and text-based messaging with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her approach is practical and person-focused, helping clients learn skills and make changes at a pace that feels right for them.
How person-centred work translates to online therapy
Rebecca practises client-centred therapy which centres on empathy, listening and following the client's pace. This approach helps with anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and life changes by making space for the person to talk through feelings and to identify their own strengths and solutions.Her practice also draws on a general person-centred ethos of validation and acceptance, which supports people working through grief, stress or relationship concerns. The focus is on understanding each person's experience rather than applying a fixed set of techniques, so sessions adapt to what the client needs most.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Becky works collaboratively to find what fits. She discusses goals and preferences with each client and adjusts the way sessions run if something feels more helpful. This joint planning helps match the method to the problem and to the person's practical circumstances.
Online therapy with Becky is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging is handy for brief check-ins or when writing helps people process thoughts. These options offer flexibility for people juggling work, caring or travel and make it easier to keep continuity of care across locations.
