Rebecca (Becky) Thomas, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of experience who uses a client-centred approach. She trained in person-centred therapy and holds British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership, alongside Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society. Becky offers a calm, straightforward way of talking through difficult feelings and life events.

She creates a non-judgemental space where people set the pace and choose what to discuss. Sessions focus on listening, empathy and helping people to make sense of their emotions. Becky encourages clients to notice their own strengths and to build practical ways of coping.

Her background includes work in an NHS GP practice, supporting imprisoned women in a high-security setting, and time at a mental health charity in a deprived area. Becky also holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, a degree accredited by the British Psychological Society, and she researched fear and phobia during her studies.

In conversation she keeps language plain and practical. The aim is to help people learn tools and strategies that fit day-to-day life, whether that means managing stress, grief, mood difficulties or problems with sleep and appetite. She also offers support around identity, intimacy and relationship concerns.

Becky works online with people from the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are guided by what the client needs, and she will adapt pace and focus as therapy progresses. Getting started involves a short online matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit the client's schedule.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and creating space for people to talk in their own way. The counsellor reflects what is said, offers acceptance and helps clients connect with their own resources to manage stress, grief, identity questions and mood difficulties.

Becky draws on her person-centred approach to adapt sessions online. She will work collaboratively to find a pace and style that suit the client's needs and goals, checking in about what is or is not helpful as therapy progresses. Together they will decide which methods and session format best support the work.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits longer conversations and visual connection. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and allow shorter, more flexible exchanges. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments while still receiving ongoing support from a registered or accredited professional.
