Rebecca (Becky) Holmes, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people who are struggling to cope with everyday life, including stress, anxiety and low mood. Becky aims to make talking about difficult feelings straightforward and practical.

Becky listens first, then helps people work out what might be making them feel stuck. She offers clear, step-by-step ways to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Her work draws on approaches that look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and on methods that focus on the person's own goals. This can include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying simple mindful practices, and gently looking at past experiences that still affect daily life.

Becky also works with concerns such as body image, eating and food-related issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and separation or divorce. She aims to keep sessions practical, with tools people can use between meetings.

People who choose Becky can expect an open, non-judgemental space to talk things through. She supports international clients in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that inform online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence how someone connects now and can help with commitment issues, abandonment feelings and intimacy difficulties. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's own goals and experiences, offering a listening space where the counsellor follows the client's lead and helps them make sense of what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becky aims to discuss what feels most useful and to try methods that match a person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are set when arranging meetings. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows work to continue across locations and time zones for international clients. The focus is on practical ways to apply therapy between sessions and to make therapeutic work fit everyday life.
