About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who works with people experiencing low mood and depression. She offers a calm, practical approach for those finding everyday life hard to manage. Becky explains things simply so people can make sense of what they are feeling and decide what to try next.
Becky focuses on helping people understand why they feel stuck and what small changes might help.
Background and approach
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns and how these still affect current feelings. She also uses cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of coping. Her way of working is collaborative and adapted to each person.
Sessions aim to be a space to talk things through, try short practical exercises, and reflect on what makes a difference between meetings. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, sleep and day-to-day anxiety. Becky has three years of professional experience and is a BACP member, which is shown as BACP.
She supports people with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and issues around eating and sleeping. Online and remote formats are available including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. International clients may be supported and work is carried out in English.
To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once a suitable time is agreed.

Online support
Client-centred practice places the person at the heart of the work. Sessions focus on understanding each person's goals, hearing their experience without judgement, and building a respectful therapeutic relationship to support change.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. This approach is practical for managing low mood, anxiety, sleep problems and some eating-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Becky works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adapt the mix of approaches as work progresses to make sure sessions stay useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging which give flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caring or travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
