About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and other everyday difficulties that make day-to-day life harder.
Becky describes wellbeing as about how people feel and how they cope, not about being happy all the time. She helps people look at what is causing distress and how that affects daily routines, sleep and relationships. Practical problems like panic, phobias, sleep disruption, and eating and weight concerns are included in her work.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice. That means sessions often focus on relationships and how early patterns affect current feelings, while keeping the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness are also used to help with thoughts and stress in the moment.
People may come to Becky for help with grief, trauma, self-esteem, addictions, intimacy worries and family-related pressures. She also lists working with issues such as abandonment, blended family difficulties, chronic illness, and caregiver stress.
Sessions aim to identify manageable steps and ways to cope when things feel overwhelming. Becky invites straightforward conversation about what is and isn’t helping, and she works with each person to find clear, practical options to try.
If you are considering starting, the process involves a short matching questionnaire and booking an initial session to talk about goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How Becky’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect feelings today. Online sessions can be used to notice these patterns, talk through relationship triggers, and try different ways of relating. Client-centred practice focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities. In remote sessions this means time is given to listen, reflect the person’s experience, and agree practical next steps together. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Online meetings can include short exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaviour between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becky will help clients decide which ideas and techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family life and work. They can allow shorter check-ins, sessions without needing to travel, and simpler scheduling on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical arrangements to support steady progress without asking you to rearrange large parts of your routine.
