About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor who began working in therapeutic settings in 2018. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and has Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society and individual membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Becky uses a person-centred approach and offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time to clients anywhere in the world.

Becky trained as a person-centred therapist and qualified in 2021 on a BACP course. Her background includes work in an NHS GP practice, a mental health charity in a deprived area, and with imprisoned women in a closed-category maximum security prison. These varied roles shaped her practical approach to common problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.

In sessions she focuses on listening without judgement and helping people make sense of their emotions. She encourages clients to set the pace and directs sessions by reflecting what is said and asking questions that help clarify feelings and choices. Becky also supports people coping with life change, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD and a wide range of relationship and intimacy matters.

Her psychology degree included study of clinical and forensic psychology, biopsychology and psychiatric pharmacology. That background informs how she explains emotional reactions and supports people to learn new skills and strategies. Clients typically work on building self-compassion, improving sleep and eating patterns, and managing mood swings or anger.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapists availability.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the work. It involves a counsellor listening without judgement, reflecting what is heard and helping the person make sense of their feelings. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, grief and trauma when a compassionate space is needed to talk things through.

Beckys background in psychology means she often explains how emotions and behaviour are linked. She uses that knowledge to help people develop self-compassion and practical coping strategies for things like sleep, eating, anger and stress. The therapist helps clients recognise their own strengths and decide what they want to work on next.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Becky will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and adjust the work as those needs change. She supports people to try different ways of working and checks in regularly to make sure the plan still fits.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy lives and connecting across time zones. Because Becky offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time, this can suit people who prefer typing or shorter, focused check-ins. If you need other formats, confirm the current session options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
