Rebecca (Becky) Holmes
Practical, relational therapy for day-to-day struggles
About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor who aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day life. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps to make coping easier. Becky works with adults who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, grief, stress, addictions and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Becky draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She listens first, then helps people spot unhelpful patterns in thinking and in relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions often include short exercises, gentle reflection and goal-focused conversations to build small, steady changes. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience informs how she blends talking therapy with problem-solving techniques and attention to emotional experience.
Common issues she supports include trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns. Becky also works with people facing separation, commitment worries and communication problems in close relationships. In sessions she will explore history and current patterns, draw out strengths, and collaborate on practical steps.
The aim is to help people feel steadier, clearer and more able to manage day-to-day demands. Work can be brief and focused or more open-ended, depending on what the person wants. Becky offers therapy in English and is available for people in the UK and internationally.
Her style is warm, direct and grounded in everyday language to make it easier to talk about difficult things.

How Becky’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rebecca uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns in close connections and trust. Client-centred work means she follows the person’s lead, offering empathic listening and reflection to help someone make sense of their experience. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change mood and behaviour.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Becky will talk through what is worrying you, your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together you can adapt the plan if something doesn’t feel helpful or if priorities change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see non-verbal cues and hold a fuller conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or need ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or mobility needs while keeping therapy accessible.
