Rebecca (Becky) Thomas

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and a wide range of life challenges. She trained in Client-Centred Therapy and holds Individual Membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). Becky offers listening, empathy and a non-judgemental space for people to talk through what matters to them.

Becky qualified as a person-centred therapist in 2021 after working in therapeutic roles since 2018. Her background includes placements in an NHS GP practice, a mental health charity serving a deprived area, and work inside a closed-category maximum security prison. She also has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology that is accredited by the British Psychological Society and holds Graduate Membership of the BPS.

In sessions she focuses on helping people access their own strengths and make practical changes. The therapist’s style is calm and accepting; she follows the client’s pace and lets people decide what to talk about. Practical tools and strategies are introduced as needed to help with coping, sleep, managing mood, or addressing patterns like codependency and avoidance.

Areas Becky commonly addresses include relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD, bipolar and career stresses, as well as body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness and bereavement. She also supports people exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures and those coping with abandonment or attachment difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and Becky accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. She currently provides live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and genuine empathy. The therapist offers an accepting, non-judgemental presence and follows the client’s lead, which helps when people need to process trauma, grief, anxiety or identity questions. This approach aims to help people tap into their own strengths and make sense of feelings at their own pace.

Becky’s background in primary care, charity work and custodial settings informs a practical, humane style. She will work with each person to identify which way of working suits their concerns, goals and preferences. Deciding on the best approach is a collaborative process and can evolve over time as needs change.

Becky currently provides live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. If you prefer another format, confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can be easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, helping therapy slot into everyday life without rearranging your whole schedule.
