About Rebecca
Rebecca (Becky) Holmes offers calm, practical support for people who are finding day-to-day life hard. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood to work out what is getting in the way of coping. Becky writes simply and listens closely so people can talk through what matters most to them.
Becky uses a mix of approaches that suit the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the conversation focused on the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and manage stress symptoms. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP.
That registration reflects professional standards in counselling practice in the UK. People come to Becky for a wide range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting worries and long-term illness or pain.
She also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, communication and commitment problems. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and clearer understanding. Becky helps clients spot small changes that make daily life easier and build confidence to handle difficult feelings.
She works with each person to find realistic ways forward and to set goals that fit their life.

How Rebecca works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Becky will discuss goals and preferences and work with the client to decide which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not specify exact online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they fit around work and family life, cut travel time and allow regular check-ins from wherever they are. Some approaches used by Becky, such as short skills practice from cognitive work or mindfulness exercises, translate well to remote sessions and can be practised between meetings to support steady progress.
