Rebecca Pook , BACP

Rebecca Pook works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and life changes. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and challenges around self-esteem and relationships. Rebecca also helps with parenting strain, career concerns, ADHD, and LGBT-related issues.

She uses a warm, compassionate style that aims to create a steady space for people to talk. Her approach is collaborative - she sits alongside people rather than telling them what to do. Sessions give room to feel difficult emotions and to think about patterns that keep causing pain.

Rebecca encourages gentle challenge when it helps. She will invite clients to test different ways of seeing situations and to try small changes between sessions. She also focuses on practical ways to manage stressors that cannot be changed immediately.

Her counselling draws on client-centred work and emotion-focused ideas to support emotional processing. She also draws on motivational techniques and narrative ideas to help people find meaning and direction in their lives.

Rebecca is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She has five years' experience working with people across a range of concerns. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Therapy with Rebecca typically gives people a calm place to reflect, try new responses, and develop ways to cope. The work is practical and conversational, with attention to feelings and real-life pressures.

How Rebecca applies therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space. The counsellor listens closely and helps people make their own sense of feelings and choices; this suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people experience and express emotions in relationships. It helps people understand attachment needs and patterns and is useful when relationship dynamics or attachment issues cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the approach as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual contact and work through facial expression and tone. Phone sessions can be easier when internet quality is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief check-ins, or need support that fits around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and to try different ways of working without major travel.
