Rebecca "Becky" Messitt

Rebecca "Becky" Messitt is a BACP counsellor who offers a warm, collaborative way of working. She creates a calm space where adults and young people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships and feelings of loneliness. Becky uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people feel heard and understood.

She adapts her approach to each person rather than using one fixed method. That means sessions focus on what matters most to the individual - naming emotions, spotting patterns, and finding practical ways to respond to them. Becky is comfortable helping with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, and social anxiety.

Young people are supported to make sense of changes and build resilience during adolescence. Becky helps them identify emotions and develop skills to manage difficult moments as they move towards adulthood. Her work with adults looks at how past experiences and relationships shape current choices and feelings.

Attachment ideas and person-centred thinking often inform the conversations. These perspectives are used to explore belonging, abandonment concerns, and how people relate to others. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and stronger ways of relating to oneself and others.

Becky describes the style as compassionate and collaborative. She helps clients set small, realistic steps and checks progress along the way. Taking the first step can feel hard, and her role is to guide and support people as they work towards clearer purpose and more confidence.

How a client-centred approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on meeting each person with empathy and respect. It prioritises the client's own goals and pace, helping them speak about what matters and find their own solutions. This approach suits concerns like low self-esteem, relationship patterns, isolation and general anxiety because it lets people explore feelings without pressure.

Becky uses client-centred principles to tailor conversations to the person's needs. She will work collaboratively to identify what helps most, whether that is naming emotions, trying small behavioural steps, or reflecting on past relationships. Deciding which methods to use is part of the process and happens together with the client.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins between other commitments. It can also help when quieter surroundings, less bandwidth or a shorter phone conversation are preferred. Becky will discuss practical arrangements and help find a setup that fits the client's needs and daily routine.
