About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor who trained in Client-Centred therapy and works with people who want to better understand their emotions. She uses a calm, non-judgemental style and offers a space to talk through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Becky emphasises self-compassion and helping people find practical ways to feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Becky has a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology from 2015, and she completed her Person-Centred counselling qualification in 2021 on a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy course. She also holds Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society and membership of the BACP, which she lists as BACP.

Her eight years of experience include placements in an NHS GP practice, work with imprisoned women in a closed-category maximum-security prison, and roles at a mental health charity in a deprived area. Those roles brought experience with a very wide range of life challenges and diagnoses, and with people from many backgrounds.

In sessions Becky focuses on listening closely and reflecting what she hears, so clients can connect with their own resources and make choices that feel right to them. She explains things in clear terms and helps people learn small skills and tools to cope with symptoms such as poor sleep, low mood or overwhelming worry.

Becky currently offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time, and she accepts clients from anywhere in the world. She asks people to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a time according to her availability.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Therapy

Client-Centred therapy focuses on giving people empathic listening and space to speak without judgement. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle clarifying questions, and helps the person identify their own strengths and next steps. This approach commonly helps with anxiety, low mood, trauma recovery and relationship or codependency concerns.

Becky’s training and background mean she aims to be present and responsive even when work happens via text or chat. Finding the right approach is part of the work together - she will check in about what feels most helpful and adapt the way she responds to match each person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps build trust and keeps sessions focused on what the person wants to achieve.

The profile notes that Becky currently offers live chat and text sessions only, so please confirm session 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. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to provide steady, conversational support and practical guidance across time zones.
