Rebecca (Becky) Thomas, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a person-centred therapist who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She offers a calm, non-judgmental space where individuals can explore feelings, process past events, and build self-compassion and resilience at their own pace. Becky listens with empathy and validation, helping clients access their own strengths and develop practical skills and coping strategies to manage ongoing difficulties and life transitions.

Becky trained and qualified as a person-centred therapist in 2021 on a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy course, and she has worked in therapeutic settings since 2018. Her clinical experience during training included supporting patients in an NHS GP practice, working with imprisoned women in a closed-category maximum security prison, and providing care at a mental health charity in a socioeconomically deprived area. These placements informed her ability to work with diverse people and complex presentations.

She holds a BSc (Hons) degree in Psychology from a British Psychological Society accredited course and maintains Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS) alongside Individual Membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). Becky also has a strong interest in psychiatric pharmacology, which informs her understanding when supporting people with diagnosed conditions.

Becky currently offers live chat and text sessions only, available in the afternoons and evenings UK time, and she works with clients from anywhere in the world. She invites anyone ready to take a first step toward change to reach out and explore how therapy might help.

Person-centred approaches and online support

Client-centred therapy focuses on providing a warm, accepting environment in which the client leads the conversation and is treated with empathy and respect. This approach helps people make sense of their emotions, improve self-esteem, and work through experiences such as trauma, grief, anxiety and relationship difficulties by building self-awareness and personal agency.

Becky treats therapy as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify the most helpful way forward, adapting the person-centred approach to meet individual needs, goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist explore what feels most useful, and refine the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and time zones. For many people this range of options supports consistent attendance, timely access to support and the chance to engage in therapy from a comfortable setting while still working with registered professionals and qualified therapists.
