About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally.

Becky trained in Person-Centred therapy, also known as Client-Centred Therapy, and uses that approach in sessions. She listens without judgement and lets each person set the pace for what they want to talk about. Her practice emphasises helping people understand feelings, make sense of past events, and build practical coping strategies.

Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from a British Psychological Society accredited course and Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society. Becky completed her Person-Centred qualification in 2021 on a BACP course and has worked in a range of settings since 2018, including an NHS GP practice, a prison, and a mental health charity in a deprived area.

Those varied placements exposed her to many different situations and helped her learn to work with complex emotional responses. She is interested in how fear and phobia develop, and in psychiatric pharmacology as it relates to mental health care.

Becky offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. Pricing varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Rebecca uses Client-Centred approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting people to find their own answers. The counsellor offers non-judgemental reflection and encourages you to lead the conversation. This approach suits people who want space to understand feelings like anxiety, grief or past trauma rather than a directive programme. Rebecca’s background in psychology and experience in varied settings informs how she adapts these principles online. She will work with each person to decide how sessions should feel and what to try, based on the individual’s goals and what they find helpful. Finding the right way of working is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses. Her profile indicates she offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. Please confirm the current session options before booking so they fit your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and avoid needing to be on camera if that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing, frequency and the style of conversation to suit practical needs and preferences.
