Rebecca "Becki" Watkins, BACP

Rebecca "Becki" Watkins is a BACP-accredited psychotherapist with 13 years of experience supporting teens and adults through a wide range of life challenges. She has worked with people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, identity exploration, and difficulties in relationships, offering steady support as clients navigate change and uncertainty.

Becki provides a warm, non-judgmental space where people are invited to open up at their own pace. She is neurodiversity-affirming and welcomes autistic and other neurodivergent clients whether they have a formal diagnosis, are self-identifying, or are simply exploring their experience. Her approach is calm and approachable, and she aims to create an environment where difference is seen and respected.

Sessions are flexible and down-to-earth, tailored to each person’s needs. She draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotion-Focused Therapy, alongside other therapeutic models, adapting techniques without jargon or pressure. Becki helps people untangle difficult feelings, build tools to manage anxiety, stress, or low mood, and work through relationship and identity concerns.

She invites anyone who feels overwhelmed or not quite themselves to reach out when ready. With a focus on collaboration and practical support, Becki walks alongside clients as they make sense of their experiences and move toward change. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Therapeutic approaches Becki uses in online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where the person’s own priorities guide the work. It helps when someone needs acceptance, understanding, and a place to explore feelings at their own pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and patterns that get in the way of daily life by developing new ways of thinking and coping.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) identifies and works with core emotions to improve how people understand and express their needs, often helping with relationship and attachment difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process and Becki works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often blend methods to suit the individual rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy with Becki can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from home, during breaks, or when travel is difficult, while maintaining continuity of care across the course of therapy.
