About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and other everyday difficulties. Becky helps clients who find coping with daily life hard and who want to understand what is keeping them stuck.

Becky keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She talks through what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and what small steps might reduce distress. She uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems, including talking about attachment patterns, looking at unhelpful thoughts, and bringing attention back to the present.

Her experience includes working with anxiety, phobias and panic alongside depression, sleep problems and eating issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Becky pays attention to how past relationships and attachment issues can shape current reactions and behaviours.

Sessions often involve setting clear, short-term goals and testing out changes between meetings. She can introduce simple mindfulness exercises to reduce overthinking and use cognitive techniques to challenge negative thoughts. Psychodynamic ideas are used to help people recognise recurring patterns that affect their relationships and wellbeing.

Becky works in English and accepts international clients. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first session so she can match the work to their needs. The initial focus is on practical ways to make day-to-day life more manageable.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Rebecca often blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness when working online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people notice repeated ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and phobic avoidance. Mindfulness practice involves short exercises to bring attention to the present and reduce rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change if something is not helpful.

The practical benefit of online work is that it can fit into everyday life more easily. Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as details are set when arranging care. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend from different locations, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can fit around work or family commitments.
