Rebecca (Becky) Holmes, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes holds the BACP credential and practises in the United Kingdom, bringing three years of professional experience to her counselling work. She frames wellbeing as how a person feels and how they manage everyday challenges, noting that wellbeing does not require constant happiness but rather the ability to cope and adapt when life becomes difficult.

When day-to-day coping feels overwhelming, Rebecca offers a calm, reflective space to explore what is contributing to those feelings and to identify practical steps forward. She works with people experiencing low mood and depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, panic and phobias, as well as sleep difficulties. Her practice also includes support for those dealing with self-harm, eating disorders, weight concerns and low self-esteem. Rebecca aims to help clients understand the roots of their struggles and to find approaches that fit their situation, preferences and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and the online experience

Rebecca often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust; this approach can be helpful for people working through attachment issues, abandonment concerns or difficulties in close relationships. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises the client's perspective and fosters a supportive, nonjudgemental setting where people can find their own solutions and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach available in her work, focusing on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca collaborates with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so that they feel relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support around work, family and location. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow clients to work from familiar environments and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
