About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Holmes offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by daily life. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with sleep or eating. Becky writes in clear, simple terms and aims to make early sessions easy to understand and take part in.
Becky uses a mix of approaches to help clients notice patterns and try small changes. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and focused on what someone wants to change. Becky helps people set realistic goals and practises strategies together that can be used between sessions.
She pays attention to life events such as grief, illness, caregiving stress and relationship difficulties that often make coping harder. With three years of experience she works across a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, body image and chronic pain or illness. Becky is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Therapy can be offered remotely in English to people based in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone talks, live chat or text messaging. Becky encourages people to take small first steps and to shape therapy to their everyday life and commitments.

Online support
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their values and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavioural changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Becky will discuss different ways of working and decide together with each person which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so it stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
