About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience in therapeutic settings. She completed a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and trained in Person-Centred (Client-Centred) therapy, and she describes working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and many related concerns.

Becky offers short, clear sessions that focus on what matters most to the client. She encourages people to talk about their feelings at their own pace. She aims to help clients understand their emotions, process past events, and build practical skills to cope day to day.

Her background includes placements in an NHS GP surgery, a high-security prison working with imprisoned women, and a mental health charity in an area of high social deprivation. That mix of settings informed her approach to complex difficulties and to working with people from different walks of life.

In sessions she follows Client-Centred therapy, which means listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. That approach is used to support issues such as depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, addictions, ADHD, blended family issues and coping with life changes.

Becky notes an interest in psychiatric pharmacology and a grounding in clinical and forensic psychology from university study. She works with international clients and conducts live chat and text sessions in afternoons and evenings UK time, using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Client-Centred work online and what it involves

Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. In plain terms, the therapist mirrors what you say, reflects feelings back, and encourages clearer self-understanding. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and processing past trauma.

Becky also draws on her psychology background to support clients who want practical coping strategies. That can include looking at patterns in thinking and behaviour, finding small changes to try, and building day-to-day skills for stress, sleep or mood problems. These practical steps sit alongside the person-centred listening style rather than replacing it.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Becky will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then agree how to proceed. That collaborative process means the method can shift as needs change rather than being fixed from the start.

She currently conducts live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. If you need other formats, check the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel to appointments while keeping a regular therapeutic rhythm.
