About Rebecca

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes works with common problems that make day-to-day life harder and supports people to find ways of coping. She uses practical talking therapy and reflects on patterns in relationships and behaviour to help with stress, anxiety, low mood and problems linked to trauma and abuse. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' professional experience.

Becky offers a straightforward style that aims to identify what keeps difficulties going and what might help change them. She draws on client-centred ideas to listen to each person’s concerns, and on cognitive behaviour approaches to work on thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. Attachment-based and psychodynamic thinking are used to look at how early relationships can affect current feelings and relationship patterns.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to develop awareness of the body and thoughts, and solution-focused strategies to set and review short-term goals. These methods are chosen to match the person’s needs rather than applied all at once.

Common topics she helps people with include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, intimacy-related and relationship problems, eating- and sleeping-related issues, parenting strain, and family concerns. Additional areas of focus recorded include abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, chronic illness and pain, caregiving stress, dissociation, and domestic violence.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Rebecca commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and attachment-based therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behaviour to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic and low mood. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns and repeated relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becky collaborates with each person to agree what feels most useful, adapted to their goals and what they want to address. The choice of methods may shift as progress is reviewed together.

The practical benefits of working online depend on the session formats available, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work with a therapist when someone is living in a different country from the counsellor. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use similar online approaches to support talking, skills practice and reviewing progress.
