Rebecca (Becky) Holmes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or difficult life events. She presents as calm and approachable, and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Rebecca works in English and offers online formats for people based in the United Kingdom and beyond.

Rebecca has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She frames wellbeing as how someone feels and copes day to day, not as a demand to be happy all the time.

Background and approach

Her work focuses on understanding what keeps a problem going and finding small changes that can make daily life easier. Her practice covers a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

She also supports people facing attachment and abandonment worries, body image and control issues, bereavement, chronic illness or caregiving stress, and the emotional fallout of separation or domestic violence. In sessions she uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. Rebecca draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to build trust and explore past patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help with difficult thoughts, unhelpful behaviours and emotional regulation. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Rebecca encourages clear goals and simple strategies that can be used between sessions.

People who want to start are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Rebecca commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they connect with others and make different choices in relationships. She also draws on client-centred therapy which focuses on empathetic listening and helping the person lead the pace and priorities of the work. That method is useful when someone needs a space to be heard and understood.

Rebecca pairs those human-centred approaches with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises when practical symptom relief is needed. CBT-style work helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, while mindfulness teaches simple ways to regulate strong emotions and improve sleep or concentration. She will discuss options and decide together what to try first, adapting as goals change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions approximate a face-to-face conversation and are good for deeper work, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, homework discussion or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments.
