About Rebecca
Rebecca "Becki" Watkins is a BACP psychotherapist with 13 years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, approachable presence for people feeling overwhelmed, low in confidence, or simply not themselves. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and paced to the person sitting in the room.
Becki creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly. She describes her approach as flexible and tailored, using ideas from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, cognitive behavioural approaches, and client-centred listening.
Background and approach
Practical tools and gentle reflection are combined so each session meets the person's needs that day. She is neurodiversity-affirming and welcomes autistic and other neurodivergent people, whether they have a diagnosis or are exploring their experience. Becki pays attention to how differences affect daily life and relationships, and aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful.
Typical areas she supports include anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, addictions, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career strain. Additional focuses listed include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, and blended family challenges. Sessions can be practical, with strategies for managing symptoms, or reflective, to untangle difficult feelings and past events.
Becki encourages people to bring what they have and take things at a pace that feels right for them. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule.

Online support
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns; it helps people notice, name and work with core feelings to change unhelpful interaction cycles. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening without judgement and following the person's lead to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers straightforward tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to choose methods that match the person's goals, needs and preferences. Sessions can shift over time - for example starting with stabilising CBT skills and moving to deeper emotional processing when the person feels ready.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging support shorter, more frequent exchanges and can fit around work or caring responsibilities. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and to pick the format that suits a given week.
