Rebecca (Becky) Thomas , BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a person-centred therapist who supports people working through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and a wide range of other emotional and practical challenges. She draws on eight years of experience in therapeutic settings and qualified on a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) course in 2021 to practise as a Person Centred therapist. Her background includes a BSc (Hons) in Psychology - an undergraduate honours degree - plus graduate membership of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS) and individual membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), reflecting her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

During training and early practice she worked in an NHS GP medical practice, supported imprisoned women in a closed-category maximum security prison, and provided services at a mental health charity in a severely socioeconomically deprived area. Those experiences exposed her to diverse needs and helped her work with people from many walks of life, addressing issues such as trauma, addiction, mood disorders, neurodiversity, parenting and intimacy-related concerns. Her undergraduate research focused on fear and phobia, and she maintains an interest in psychiatric pharmacology, which informs her understanding of some mental health conditions.

Rebecca offers live chat and text-based sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time, and she accepts clients from anywhere in the world. She aims to create a non-judgmental space where people can explore emotions at their own pace, build self-compassion, and develop practical strategies for coping and personal growth.

Person-Centred Support Delivered Online

Rebecca practises Client-Centred Therapy, sometimes called person-centred therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps a person explore their feelings at their own pace. The therapist offers non-judgemental listening and reflective responses designed to help individuals access their own strengths and make sense of difficult emotions; this approach can be especially helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and self-esteem work.

In practice she adapts the core person-centred stance to each person’s needs, working collaboratively to identify goals and helpful ways of working together. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process - Rebecca will discuss options, listen to a client’s preferences, and shape sessions around what feels most useful and achievable for that person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity when travel or circumstances change. Rebecca currently provides live chat and text-based sessions in the afternoons and evenings UK time and can work with clients from anywhere in the world, enabling ongoing support without geographic limits.
