Rebecca "Becki" Watkins is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and 13 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, approachable way of working for people feeling overwhelmed, low in confidence, or simply not themselves. Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth, with practical support and a relaxed atmosphere.
Becki provides a safe, non-judgemental space where people can talk at their own pace. She is neurodiversity-affirming and welcomes autistic and neurodivergent people whether they have a formal diagnosis or are still exploring their experience.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and plain-spoken, avoiding jargon and pressure. In practice she blends client-centred listening with tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion-focused work. That means sessions can include talking things through, practical strategies for anxiety or low mood, and attention to how relationships and identity shape feelings.
The focus is on what helps the person in front of her. Becki has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem, addiction, ADHD and many other life challenges. Additional areas include body image, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and communication problems, and coping with chronic illness.
Therapy with Becki is collaborative. She helps people set goals, try different approaches, and review what is working. The aim is to make daily life feel more manageable and to build practical skills that fit each person’s circumstances.
How Becki’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting space where the person sets the pace. It suits people who need to feel heard and understood before trying different tools. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises and short-term strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becki treats this as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can blend listening, skill-building and reflection so you can try something and review how it’s helping.
Online work offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls let you meet face to face for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter conversations, quick tools between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver effective therapy using these formats, making it simpler to fit support around work, parenting and daily life.
