About Rebecca
Counsellor Rebecca Stokes is a BACP registered member with three years' experience supporting adults and young people. She works with common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes, and also offers help around grief, parenting and ADHD.
Rebecca uses a person-centred way of working that treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on what feels most important to the individual and move at a pace they can manage. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques when these suit the client.
In sessions she helps people name what is happening, look at thoughts and feelings that keep patterns repeating, and try out practical steps to feel less stuck. This can include skills from CBT to address unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness ideas to manage stress and anxiety.
Rebecca has experience working with young people through specialist bereavement services and counselling organisations. That work informs her practice with adults as well, especially around loss, separation and trauma-related issues.
She supports people dealing with a broad range of life pressures - from career stress and anger to body image and chronic illness concerns. People who value straightforward, collaborative work that combines listening with practical tools often find her approach useful.
Approaches used in online counselling
Rebecca draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and treating the person as the expert on their own life. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk things through and to make sense of feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT is often used to tackle anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking patterns by practising different ways of responding.
Mindfulness Therapy appears in her work as well, offering simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce stress and improve focus. These techniques can be useful alongside talking therapies for managing strong emotions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree together which ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
For practical matters, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered and accredited professionals commonly use these benefits to help people maintain continuity of care alongside day-to-day commitments.
