About Rebecca

Rebecca Stokes is a BACP therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem and a wide range of life changes, including anger and grief. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Rebecca describes her work as person-centred, which means she treats the client as the expert on their own life. She listens for what matters most and works at a pace that feels comfortable. When helpful, she also draws on other techniques such as cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness to address specific thoughts, behaviours and coping habits.

In practical terms she focuses on understanding patterns that keep a person stuck. That might include repeated conflicts at home, difficulty managing frustration at work, or simmering resentment that affects close relationships. She helps people talk through those issues, notice what triggers strong reactions, and try new ways of responding.

Rebecca has practical experience supporting people with parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, career stress and the emotional impacts of chronic illness or bereavement. She also works with people navigating neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome and with LGBT related issues.

Her aim is collaborative rather than directive. Sessions explore thoughts, feelings and everyday behaviours so clients can find workable changes. The first session is an opportunity to clarify goals and agree how to proceed.

How Rebecca uses therapy approaches online

Client-centred work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities. This approach focuses on what the client says matters most and helps shape the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for stress, anxiety and anger management. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily and mental signals, which can help when frustration rises.

Finding the right mixture of approaches is part of the process. Rebecca will work collaboratively to agree which methods to use based on the client's aims and preferences. Together they set goals, try techniques and review what helps most over time.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking as this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that fit around work or childcare. Registered professionals and therapists use these options to make therapy more practical for everyday life.
