Rebecca (Becky) Holmes , BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor who focuses on helping women manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by grief, trauma or relationship worries. Becky offers a calm space to talk through what is most pressing and to find small, workable steps forward.

Becky uses straightforward, person-centred methods to understand how past experiences and current patterns affect everyday life. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape expectations in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to tackle unhelpful thoughts and habits that keep stress and anxiety active.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Becky listens first, then suggests ways to try between sessions such as small behavioural experiments or new ways of talking to yourself. Mindfulness practices are offered when helpful to build steady attention and reduce rumination.

She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP membership, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Becky works with people who are dealing with eating and sleeping difficulties, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns alongside the more common issues of depression and self-esteem.

Online and remote formats are available for people who need flexibility. Rebecca can accept international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the booking process.

How Rebecca blends talking therapies online

Rebecca uses client-centred counselling to place the person at the heart of therapy, listening carefully and following what matters most to the individual. This approach is useful for building trust and clarifying goals. She also relies on cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Becky will talk through options and adapt methods to match each person's needs, goals and preferences. Therapy is collaborative so the choice of techniques evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to attend from different locations and to choose what fits daily life.
