Rebecca (Becky) Thomas, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor who has worked in therapeutic settings since 2018. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP. Becky uses a Client-Centred approach and aims to give people a calm space to talk through what matters to them.

Becky trained as a Person Centred therapist and completed that qualification in 2021. She has worked in a GP practice, a prison setting with imprisoned women, and at a mental health charity in an area facing severe socioeconomic challenges. These roles shaped how she listens and responds to different life situations.

In sessions she focuses on helping people understand emotions, build self-compassion, and process past trauma at a pace that suits them. She encourages clients to identify their own strengths and practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, grief and other challenges. Becky also supports work around career strain, relationship and intimacy questions, addictions, ADHD and coping with life changes.

Her background in psychology included research into fear and phobia, and she retains an interest in psychiatric pharmacology. That knowledge informs her thinking when clients discuss diagnoses or medication, without replacing the client's own priorities.

Becky currently offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings (UK time). She works with clients from anywhere in the world and asks people to choose the Start Therapy button to begin the matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Becky's Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace and topics of conversation. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects back what they hear, and helps the person uncover their own solutions and strengths. This approach is often helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma processing and self-esteem struggles.

Because Becky values collaboration, she will work with each person to decide how sessions should run and what to try first. Together they will consider goals, practical needs and personal preferences to find the best way forward rather than imposing a fixed plan.

Becky currently provides live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings (UK time). If you prefer another online format, confirm available session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, provide a lower-pressure way to speak without being on camera, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Many people find these practical benefits help them keep therapy consistent and relevant to everyday life.
