Rebecca "Becki" Watkins, BACP

Client-centred work focuses on the person and their experience, offering a listening space that follows the individual rather than imposing direction. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits and includes practical techniques to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, or DBT, emphasises skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. It can be useful for strong mood swings, anger or when someone finds emotions hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Becki will help clients choose and adapt methods based on their goals, needs and what feels comfortable. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy with Becki can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, while chat or messaging can be helpful for shorter check-ins and for people who prefer writing. These options aim to make sessions more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
