About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and difficulties around eating and food. She describes wellbeing as how we feel and how we cope with everyday life. Becky offers a calm, steady presence for people who are finding daily routines hard to manage and want to make practical changes.

Becky works in a straightforward way that focuses on what is happening now and what can help next. She talks through low mood, panic, phobias and sleep problems, and also supports people with self-harm, eating concerns and body image worries. Sessions aim to make small, usable steps toward feeling more capable day to day.

Her background includes three years of professional practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Becky combines different approaches to suit the person in front of her rather than sticking to a single method.

In practical terms, Becky uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking patterns, alongside attachment-based and client-centred ideas to explore relationships and self-view. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas may also be drawn on when they fit the client’s needs.

Work with Becky usually begins by talking about immediate concerns and setting small goals. She helps people notice what makes life harder and tries out things that can be put into daily routines. The emphasis is on gradual change and on building coping skills that fit everyday life.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical changes. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems because it focuses on doable steps and clear strategies.

She also draws on client-centred and attachment-based approaches. Client-centred work means sessions prioritise the person’s experience and pace, while attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current reactions. These approaches can help with relationship stress, body image and eating concerns by building understanding and gentler self-treatment.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Becky will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and make collaborative choices about techniques and homework. That conversation helps shape whether more CBT, reflective discussion or mindfulness exercises are used.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people outside the UK to connect with registered or accredited professionals like Becky, while adapting sessions to practical needs such as quieter surroundings or shorter meetings.
