About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Holmes helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stuck. She meets individuals who want clearer ways to cope with stress, low mood, grief or worries about relationships and intimacy. Becky explains things plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Becky works from a blend of well established approaches. She listens first and then helps people notice patterns in their thoughts, feelings and relationships.
How Rebecca works
Sessions look at how early attachments and everyday habits shape current struggles, and she offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Her background includes three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. This gives a framework for ethical practice and ongoing professional development.
Becky combines this foundation with a calm, down-to-earth manner when talking through problems. People come to Becky for a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with eating, sleeping or addictions. She also supports people with body image, attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress and chronic illness related challenges.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Becky aims to help people build small, achievable changes that make daily life feel more manageable. She accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and works with international clients in English.
For those new to therapy, Becky encourages a simple first step: a short matching questionnaire and a chance to schedule a first appointment to see how the fit feels.

How Becky uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours in close relationships and supports building safer ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Becky will listen to your concerns and try different ways of working to see what helps most. Together you set goals and agree on techniques that match your needs and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls work well for face-to-face style conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can fit short check-ins or when flexibility matters. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family or other commitments and help people access support from different locations.
