About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find steadier sleep and better day-to-day coping. She works with common concerns such as low mood, anxiety, panic, eating and sleep problems, and issues around self-esteem and wellbeing. Becky aims to make talking about difficult feelings straightforward and practical so small changes can feel possible.

Becky uses a mix of talking approaches tailored to each person. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and early experiences that affect how someone feels now. She also uses practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new routines that support sleep and mood.

She brings three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is listed as her principal credential. Becky offers help with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction-related concerns, and a range of intimacy and relationship issues, alongside parenting and family-related stress.

Work in sessions can include short-term goals and longer conversations depending on what someone needs. Becky draws on attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to change thoughts and habits that get in the way of rest and daily functioning.

If someone is unsure what will help, Becky asks straightforward questions and suggests small steps to try. The emphasis is on clear, manageable strategies and on finding ways to improve sleep and reduce daily strain over time.

Approaches that support sleep and everyday coping

Becky commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in online work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape how someone connects and rests now, which can be useful for understanding sleep disturbance linked to worry or relationship strain. Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building new routines and habits that support better sleep and mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Becky will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and then suggest a plan to try. This might mean short-term practical steps or longer conversations about relationship patterns depending on what feels most useful.

Please confirm session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone avoid camera use when that feels better. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt discussions and practical exercises to suit remote sessions and help people build routines that support rest and daily functioning.
