Rebecca "Becky" Messitt, BACP

Rebecca "Becky" Messitt is a BACP-registered integrative counsellor who supports adults aged 18 and over as well as young people from 7 to 18. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. Her practice combines a warm, compassionate manner with a collaborative style designed to help people explore challenges and build confidence.

With young people, Becky focuses on the particular pressures of adolescence - the physical changes, shifting emotions and the search for identity and belonging. She aims to create a space where young clients feel seen and heard, where emotions can be named and experiences understood. Sessions with younger clients emphasise resilience, self-assurance and practical strategies to navigate the path toward independence.

For adult clients, Becky offers a reflective space to examine how life experiences, relationships and habitual patterns shape the present. Her integrative approach draws on a range of theories and methods, including Attachment Theory, Psychosocial perspectives, Person-Centred Therapy, Existential ideas and Jungian influences, tailoring the work to each person’s needs. Together she and the client explore what resonates and develop pathways toward greater self-awareness and meaningful change.

Taking a first step can feel significant, and Becky aims to support people through that process with patience and respect. She is committed to helping individuals feel valued and empowered as they work toward the future they want.

Client-Centered and Attachment-Informed Online Therapy

Rebecca "Becky" Messitt uses client-centered principles that prioritise the individual’s experience - offering empathic listening, unconditional positive regard and collaboration. This approach helps people explore their feelings, develop self-understanding and build confidence to address stress, anxiety and relationship concerns.

She also draws on Attachment Theory to look at how early and significant relationships shape current patterns. This perspective can be useful when working with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and recurring relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Becky works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Together they adjust the pace and methods to suit developmental stage, life context and the challenges presented.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, and they allow therapists and registered professionals to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
