About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years' experience working in therapeutic settings. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and completed her person-centred (client-centred) counselling qualification in 2021. Becky works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Becky adopts a person-centred approach, which means sessions focus on what the client wants to explore. She listens without judgement and follows the pace set by the person in the room. That makes this work useful for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to begin talking about difficult experiences.
In practice, Becky helps people name and sit with emotions that feel difficult to tolerate. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice patterns and try out small changes. For someone dealing with anger, that might mean talking through triggers, practising ways to pause before reacting, or building strategies to repair relationships after an outburst.
Her background includes placements in an NHS GP practice, a maximum-security prison working with imprisoned women, and a mental health charity in a deprived area. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of life situations and practical challenges, and shaped her down-to-earth working style.
Becky’s training and degree gave her exposure to clinical topics and psychiatric pharmacology, which inform her understanding of diagnosis and treatment options. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How client-centred work translates to online support
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor offers attentive listening and reflects back what the client brings. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, grief, anger and figuring out how past experiences affect present reactions.Person-centred work is practical in text-based formats because it focuses on the client's words and pace. That can help people notice their own feelings and try small adjustments between sessions. Becky’s background in psychology and varied placements supports clear, straightforward conversation rather than directive teaching.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The counsellor and client check in about what is helpful and adjust the way they work together over time. Becky will discuss goals and preferences so the sessions match what the person needs, including how to handle anger triggers or day-to-day stressors.
The biography notes that she currently offers live chat and text sessions only. If you prefer another format, confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel for an appointment.
