About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are finding everyday life hard to manage, including stress, anxiety and low mood. Becky also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, addictions and concerns about self-esteem and relationships.

Becky invites clients to look at what keeps difficult feelings going. She uses clear, practical conversation to help people notice patterns in thinking, behaviour and relationships. That can include looking at attachment and how past relationships shape current reactions.

Her way of working draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive approaches that look at thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness practices and elements of psychodynamic thinking are used too, where they seem helpful. The focus is usually on small, manageable changes rather than big overhauls.

Sessions include talking through immediate worries such as sleep or eating problems, and longer standing issues like abandonment or attachment difficulties. Becky also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain and the emotional impact of cancer.

She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Practical steps for starting therapy are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button. Fees vary by location and are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Becky combines Attachment-Based ideas with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred listening. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape present reactions and can help with issues like abandonment, intimacy concerns and attachment difficulties. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating problems. Client-centred therapy means sessions prioritise the person’s experience, using listening and reflection to clarify what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becky will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods fit best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress and needs evolve.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video, but check with Becky which formats she currently offers.
