About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of experience who works from a person-centred perspective. She trained in psychology and completed a person-centred counselling qualification on a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy course. Becky offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, addictions, ADHD and other life pressures.

Her earlier study includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, accredited by the British Psychological Society, and Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS). She also holds Individual Membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as MBACP, which reflects her ongoing professional commitments.

Becky draws on client-centred therapy to help people understand their feelings and build self-compassion. Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping clients access their own strengths so they can work through upsetting memories or everyday problems. Practical skills and coping strategies may be introduced when helpful.

Her clinical background includes placements in an NHS GP practice, work with imprisoned women in a secure prison setting and volunteering at a mental health charity in a deprived area. These experiences have shaped her ability to sit with complex life stories and varied mental health challenges.

Becky currently offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time and accepts clients from anywhere in the world. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping a person access their own resources. In practice this means the therapist offers non-judgemental reflection and supports the client to make sense of feelings and choices. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, grief and issues linked to self-esteem.

Her practice emphasises creating a respectful, empathic relationship where the client guides the pace and content of sessions. That collaborative stance helps tailor the work to goals such as coping with life changes, processing past trauma or building self-compassion.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing afternoon or evening appointments. When formats are not fully specified here, confirm the exact session options before booking so they match your needs. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or use text-based sessions for people who prefer writing. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find these flexible arrangements help clients sustain therapy alongside everyday commitments.
