Rebecca (Becky) Thomas, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a person-centred counsellor with eight years of experience in therapeutic settings. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as MBACP. Becky offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, ADHD and other concerns.

Becky trained in person-centred therapy, also called client-centred therapy, and uses that approach to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She listens with empathy and aims to help clients access their own strengths. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, building self-compassion and learning practical ways to cope with difficult moments.

Her background includes work in an NHS GP practice, support at a mental health charity in a deprived area, and time supporting women in a high-security prison. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of life circumstances and difficulties, which inform her straightforward, respectful style.

Becky’s academic training includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from a British Psychological Society accredited course, and she has a particular interest in psychiatric pharmacology and how diagnoses affect people and their families. This feeds into practical conversations about treatment and coping strategies, without offering medical advice.

She currently offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time, and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s available times.

How person-centred therapy works online

Person-centred therapy, also known as client-centred therapy, focuses on listening, acceptance and empathy. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them make sense of their feelings without directing the conversation. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues and building self-compassion.

Becky also draws on her psychological training to gently explore how past experiences and current patterns affect daily life. Conversations may include practical coping ideas and ways to notice unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for issues such as addiction, ADHD or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Becky will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the pace and focus of therapy.

She currently offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. If you want a different session format, please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits the client.
