Rebecca (Becky) Holmes , BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a UK-licensed therapist with three years of professional experience who focuses on helping people navigate everyday difficulties and improve their wellbeing. She frames wellbeing as how someone feels and how they manage life's stresses - noting that wellbeing does not require constant happiness, but does benefit from practical support when coping becomes difficult.

Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to explore the reasons behind persistent low mood or difficulty managing daily life, taking time to understand each person’s situation before identifying helpful steps forward. She offers support for low mood and depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, panic and phobias, sleep difficulties, self-harm, eating disorders, concerns about weight, and low self-esteem.

Rebecca holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her adherence to professional standards. Her approach is client-focused and aims to help people find practical ways to cope, build resilience, and reconnect with what matters to them.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rebecca offers several evidence-informed approaches tailored to individual needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early attachment experiences influence current emotions and reactions - it can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, trust issues, or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, person-led process where the therapist provides empathy and understanding to help clients find their own solutions and build self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rebecca works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time and involves clients in decisions about their care.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility challenges. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity of support, and access licensed professionals in a way that fits into everyday life.
