Rebecca (Becky) Thomas , BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Thomas is a person-centred therapist who offers an empathic, non-judgmental space for people to explore emotions, process past trauma, and work toward personal growth. She listens with validation and care, helping clients tap into their own strengths and develop practical skills for coping, healing, and understanding how past experiences influence present feelings and relationships.

Becky trained as a Person-Centred (also known as Client-Centred) therapist and qualified in 2021 on a course accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her clinical experience spans work in an NHS GP medical practice, therapeutic support for women in a closed-category maximum security prison, and a mental health charity serving a severely socioeconomically deprived area. These placements exposed her to a wide range of issues and populations, informing a flexible, compassionate approach to care.

She graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2015 from a British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited programme and completed a dissertation on the development of fear and phobia. That academic background, combined with a particular interest in psychiatric pharmacology, supports her ability to work knowledgeably with complex diagnoses and co-occurring challenges.

Rebecca holds Graduate Membership with the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS) and Individual Membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) - memberships that reflect her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. She currently offers live chat and text-based sessions only, available in the afternoons and evenings UK time to clients from anywhere in the world, and she welcomes new clients seeking support for stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationships, and a wide range of other concerns.

Client-Centred Care and Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating the person with empathy, respect, and unconditional positive regard. The therapist offers a warm, accepting space and helps clients explore feelings at their own pace so they can build self-compassion, gain insight, and work through issues such as anxiety, trauma, grief, or relationship difficulties.

Coaching-style support complements this work by concentrating on practical goals and strengths. This approach can help clients develop strategies for coping with life changes, improving wellbeing, and making progress in areas like career, parenting, or managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rebecca will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the therapist and client decide how to balance empathic exploration with goal-focused techniques to create a personalised plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and continue regular work on mental health and life goals with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt sessions to each client's circumstances.
