Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a counsellor who offers a calm, listening presence for people under stress or facing difficult feelings. She uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on the person in front of her. Becky aims to help clients make sense of emotions, cope with trauma, and build more self-compassion in everyday life.

Becky trained in person-centred practice after completing a BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2015. She holds Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - MBACP.

Background and approach

Her clinical work began in 2018 and she qualified as a person-centred therapist in 2021. Her background includes placements in an NHS GP practice, a mental health charity in a deprived area, and work with imprisoned women in a high-security setting. These roles exposed her to a wide range of life situations and mental health challenges.

That experience informs her practical, down-to-earth approach in sessions. In therapy Becky offers a steady, non-judgemental space where clients set the pace and choose what to work on. Conversations focus on feelings, coping strategies, and drawing out the client’s own strengths and resources.

She supports people dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction and low self-esteem, among other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Becky sees clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. She works via live chat and text-based messaging, with appointments usually in the afternoons and evenings UK time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability.

Client-centred practice online and what to expect

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The counsellor offers an accepting space where the person leads the conversation and chooses what to talk about. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and processing past harm by encouraging self-understanding and inner resources.

Becky’s client-centred way is collaborative. She works with each person to find what helps most, adjusting approaches to match their goals and preferences. Figuring out the right way of working is part of the first sessions and is reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and build rapport, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit the client.
