The No BS Therapist:

Becca Upton

Hey I’m Becca,
the No BS Therapist

Becca sat in a chair

I’m in my late 20s, Notts born and raised ☝️ I actually understand about dating apps, saving for ages for your first home and struggling to find your dream job 😮‍💨

I’m chill, pretty sweary, and I hate the cheesy, fluffy phrases you hear from every other therapist 🙄

I stay in the real world - life is fucking hard sometimes and some random quote by Ghandi isn’t gonna change that 🤦‍♀️

I feel most like me with some bright colours, so expect multicoloured hair and bold nails 💜🩷❤️

I wear comfy clothes or jeans in sessions, you can wear whatever you want too 👌

No fluff, no nonsense, no BS 💩

I’m a feminist, disability and neurodivergent inclusive, and an LGBTQIA+ ally. I’m also a very proud member of the Your Spaces Too campaign - you’re always welcome here 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

When I’m not in sessions, I’m usually chatting about my work in podcasts, articles, blog posts, workshops and talks at conferences, including for the BACP. Check them out

If it sounds like I’m your kind of person, let’s do this thing 😀
