About Rebecca
Rebecca "Becki" Watkins is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience. She offers a calm, approachable presence for people feeling overwhelmed, low in confidence, or not quite themselves. Sessions are down-to-earth and paced to the individual.
Becki aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and find practical ways forward. Her background includes extensive work with anxiety, depression, stress, grief and trauma. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, and neurodiversity-related questions such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
How Rebecca works
Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, bipolar, parenting strain, career changes and identity exploration. Becki draws on several methods to shape sessions around each person's needs. She uses client-centred ideas to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with practical tools offered alongside space to reflect. Sessions can include short skills practice, talking through recent events, and planning steps to cope between meetings.
The aim is to build useful strategies while recognising each person’s unique experience. Sessions are offered in English and take place remotely across the United Kingdom. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Becki uses client-centred work to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. This means the conversation follows the client’s pace and priorities, with the counsellor reflecting back what is said and helping to clarify feelings and goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours together. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits by developing small experiments and practical steps to change patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becki will discuss options with each person and choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so the client helps decide what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls are helpful when visual connection matters, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These formats make therapy more flexible and can fit around work, family or other commitments.
