Rebecca "Becki" Watkins
Warm, down-to-earth psychotherapy and practical support
About Rebecca
Rebecca "Becki" Watkins is a psychotherapist with 13 years of experience and BACP membership. She offers a calm, accepting approach for people feeling overwhelmed, low in confidence, or like they are not themselves. Becki aims to make sessions simple and down-to-earth so people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
Her practice supports adults and teens with concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and trauma. She also helps people exploring identity and those living with neurodivergent traits, including autism and Asperger syndrome.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on everyday problems like sleep, eating, work stress and relationship difficulties. Becki adapts her style to each person. She draws on client-centred work to listen closely, and uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and relationships.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are offered when people need ways to manage strong emotions. Her sessions balance practical tools with reflective conversation. That might mean learning skills for managing anxiety, talking through past events, or experimenting with new ways of communicating.
Becki keeps language simple and avoids clinical jargon so the work feels accessible. She describes her practice as neurodiversity-affirming and welcomes people who are exploring diagnosis or self-identify as neurodivergent. Becki encourages a steady pace and tailors the process to each person’s needs, preferences and goals.

How Becki's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or explore. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change patterns in close relationships and can support work around attachment and intimacy.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Becki will talk through options and try different ways of working to see what fits a person's goals and preferences. The plan can change as the work goes on and the focus is on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family life. Video works well for a fuller conversation, phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can be useful for short check-ins or those who find typing easier. These options aim to give flexibility and consistency so therapy can continue from wherever a person is based in the UK.
