About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of experience who offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them. She trained in Client-Centred Therapy and holds Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Becky works with adults on a wide range of issues and welcomes conversations in English, including with international clients.

Becky helps people process anxiety, stress, trauma and grief. She also supports those coping with low self-esteem, depression, addictions, ADHD and challenges around intimacy and relationships. Her practice includes work on career strain, compassion fatigue, sleep and eating difficulties, and complex situations such as chronic illness and bereavement.

Her approach is person-centred. Sessions focus on listening, empathic reflection and helping people find their own solutions at their own pace. Becky aims to help clients recognise their strengths and build practical ways to cope with day-to-day pressures.

Becky’s background includes placements in an NHS GP practice, work with women in a high-security prison, and a mental health charity in a deprived area. Her degree in Psychology (BSc Hons) is accredited by the British Psychological Society and informs her understanding of mental health and psychiatric treatments.

She currently offers live chat and text sessions in afternoon and evening UK hours. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Client-Centred work and online conversation

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance and giving the person space to lead the conversation. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps the client make sense of their feelings. This approach is often useful for anxiety, low self-worth, grief and processing past hurt.

Becky’s practice emphasises helping clients recognise their own strengths and make practical changes. She supports clients in building coping strategies and tackling everyday problems such as sleep, work stress and relationship difficulties. The work is collaborative and paced around the client’s readiness to discuss difficult topics.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives because sessions do not require travel and can happen in the afternoons or evenings. This therapist currently offers live chat and text sessions; please confirm session options before booking if you need a different format. Many people find text-based sessions helpful for steady-paced reflection, shorter check-ins or when typing through thoughts feels clearer than speaking.
