Book with RebeccaAbout Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor with eight years of experience working in therapeutic settings. She trained in Person Centred therapy and holds individual membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Becky offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time to people from anywhere in the world.
Becky keeps sessions straightforward and down to earth. She invites people to talk at their own pace and listens without judging.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people understand their feelings, build self-compassion and find practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, low mood and other concerns. Her background includes work in an NHS GP practice, with imprisoned women in a high-security prison, and at a mental health charity in an area of high socioeconomic need.
Becky also has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from a British Psychological Society accredited course and an interest in psychiatric pharmacology. In sessions she aims to help people tap into their own strengths and resources. Conversations often cover processing past trauma, improving relationships, coping with life changes, or developing day-to-day skills for wellbeing.
The person-centred approach means the pace and agenda come from the client, with the counsellor offering empathy, validation and support. People often come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Becky encourages prospective clients to consider whether text or live chat suits their needs before booking.

How a person-centred approach works online
Rebecca practises Person Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy and allowing the client to guide the conversation. In practice this means the counsellor mirrors what the client says, offers non-judgemental responses and helps people find their own solutions to issues like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem.The emphasis is on creating a supportive space where the client sets the pace. Together the client and counsellor decide what to focus on and how sessions should progress, adapting the approach as needs and goals become clearer.
This counsellor currently offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time. Before booking, check which session formats are available so you can choose what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can help you decide whether chat or text will suit your aims and practical needs.
