Rebecca (Becky) Holmes, BACP

Rebecca (Becky) Holmes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on everyday struggles that make life feel heavy, such as stress, anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with relationships and intimacy. Becky aims to help people understand what is causing their distress and find practical ways to cope.

Becky uses straightforward conversation to help clients notice what is happening in their lives. She listens with a client-centred attitude and works alongside people to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and attachment, and at habits that keep problems going.

Her work includes supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around eating, sleeping and self-esteem. Becky also helps people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress and chronic pain by talking through how these challenges affect everyday life. She offers help with addiction-related concerns and relationship communication problems.

Rebecca draws on a mix of approaches, including attachment-based ways of understanding relationships, cognitive behavioural techniques for practical change, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, psychodynamic thinking about early patterns, and a client-centred way of keeping the person’s needs central. She explains ideas simply and checks in about what feels useful.

People starting with Becky are asked to describe their current concerns and goals. She uses that information to agree on a plan that fits each person’s situation. International clients may be accepted; confirm session details before booking.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Rebecca often draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how trust, closeness and past losses affect how people connect now and can help with relationship, abandonment and attachment concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers clear strategies for tackling anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many day-to-day difficulties. Mindfulness practices may be added to help with present-moment awareness and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becky will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods suit you best. That decision is collaborative and may change as you make progress.

If you want online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the profile does not state them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to choose quieter surroundings or to avoid being on camera if that helps them engage better.
