About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feel steadier and sleep better. She trained in client-centred therapy and brings eight years of work in therapeutic settings to her practice. Becky uses a warm, non-judgemental manner so people can talk openly about what troubles them.

Becky offers a listening space where the person sets the pace. She will not force topics and will respond with empathy and validation. Sessions aim to help people notice their own strengths and learn simple strategies to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology, which was accredited by the British Psychological Society. Becky also holds Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society and is an Individual Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she gained after completing a BACP person-centred course in 2021.

During training and early work she supported people in a GP practice, a maximum-security prison and a mental health charity in an area of high deprivation. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of life circumstances and problems, including trauma, grief, addiction and long-term health challenges.

Becky currently works with people from anywhere in the world and offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. To start, a short matching questionnaire and the Start Therapy button are used to arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. In practice this means the counsellor offers a calm, non-judgemental space and reflects what the person says so they can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach suits issues such as anxiety, grief, stress and difficulties with sleep or self-esteem.

Because the method relies on listening and pacing to the client, it can adapt well to remote conversations. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide how sessions proceed, checking in about what feels most helpful and adjusting the approach to match goals and needs.

Rebecca offers live chat and text sessions in afternoons and evenings UK time, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, and have shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also allow people to reflect in writing during or after sessions, which some clients find helpful for processing emotions and improving sleep routines.

If you are unsure which way of working will suit you, the counsellor will discuss options and try approaches that align with your needs and preferences.
