About Rebecca
Rebecca "Becki" Watkins is a BACP psychotherapist with 13 years of experience supporting people through difficult moments. She offers a calm, approachable presence and practical help for things like anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. Becki writes and speaks plainly so conversations feel straightforward and useful.
Becki works in a way that respects neurodiversity and often supports autistic and other neurodivergent people. She meets each person where they are and adapts sessions to fit their needs and pace.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on listening and clarity. Her practical focus can include helping people manage stress, sleep or eating challenges, or find better ways to cope with grief, trauma and relationship pain. She also addresses issues such as addiction, ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, intimacy concerns and career decisions.
Parenting is among the areas she supports, including the everyday strains that come with caring responsibilities. Rebecca draws on several recognised approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour strategies, and emotionally focused ideas. She avoids jargon and uses simple tools and conversations to build change over time.
Sessions are collaborative, with aims set together and reviewed as things progress. Becki offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
The service operates via a cancellable subscription and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.

How Becki works online and which approaches she uses
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering acceptance and space to talk through feelings and choices; this helps when someone needs to explore identity, parenting worries or big life decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers straightforward strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns by testing and changing thinking and actions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills to cope with strong emotions and improve communication. It is useful for managing overwhelming feelings, impulsive behaviour and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becki will discuss options with each person and agree a plan together based on needs, goals and preferences. The partnership is collaborative, with goals reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in and messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting duties and daily life.
