About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of experience in therapeutic settings. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). Becky uses a person-centred, or client-centred, approach and aims to create a calm space where people can talk openly about what matters to them.
Her education included a British Psychological Society accredited degree and a research dissertation on fear and phobia.
Background and approach
She qualified as a person-centred therapist in 2021 and has worked in varied environments such as an NHS GP practice, a high-security prison, and a mental health charity in a deprived area. Becky focuses on reducing stress and anxiety and on helping people process trauma and grief.
She also supports those coping with depression, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, sleep and eating issues, and a wide range of life changes. Additional areas of interest include ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. In sessions she listens without judgement and lets clients set the pace and topics.
The aim is to help people access their own strengths, learn practical skills, and develop greater self-compassion. Therapy can include short-term practical work or longer conversations about past and present feelings. Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom in English and are available to international clients.
Becky currently provides text-based messaging and live chat formats, and clients can start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to the therapist's availability.
How Becky’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online
Rebecca uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person rather than labels. This approach involves listening closely, offering empathy, and following the client’s agenda so they feel heard and understood. It helps with anxiety, stress, self-esteem and long-standing emotional issues.She also draws on her psychology background to explain emotions and patterns in plain language. That practical understanding can help people make sense of trauma, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, and how past experiences affect current feelings. The emphasis is on exploring at a comfortable pace and developing self-compassion and coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Becky will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on the best way forward. That collaborative decision-making means therapy can be adjusted as understanding grows.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or messaging can fit into busy days or provide shorter check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments and to access support from different locations.
