About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Thomas trained in psychology and moved into counselling after several years working in therapeutic settings. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). Becky has worked with a wide range of people since 2018 and practices from a person-centred perspective, offering a calm, accepting space to talk.
Becky prioritises listening first. She offers live chat and text sessions in the afternoons and evenings (UK time) and works with clients from anywhere in the world. She keeps sessions paced to the individual and avoids pushing people to speak about things they are not ready to discuss.
In sessions she helps people name and make sense of emotions, cope with stress and anxiety, process grief or trauma, and build self-compassion. She also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, career pressures, and caregiver strain. Becky draws on her background in psychology to explain thoughts and everyday habits in straightforward terms.
Her training included placements in an NHS GP practice, a mental health charity in a deprived area, and work inside a closed-category, maximum security prison. Those experiences shaped her understanding of how different life circumstances affect mental health and how to adapt support to each person’s situation.
Becky describes herself as non-judgemental and warm. She encourages clients to discover their own strengths and to try practical tools at a pace that feels manageable. To start, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How a person-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people feel understood. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client's lead, reflects feelings back, and helps the person clarify their own thoughts and goals. This approach often helps with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and understanding everyday habits.Rebecca will work with each person to find what fits best. That includes talking about goals, preferences and how meetings feel. She sees finding the right approach as a joint process and adapts the way she listens and responds to suit each person's needs.
She currently offers live chat and text sessions in afternoons and evenings (UK time), and accepts clients from anywhere in the world. If you are considering online counselling, check the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can use online work to keep continuity of care and to offer support when in-person access is difficult.
