About Roseanna
Roseanna Cook is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, grief, addiction, anger and long-term emotional difficulties. Her approach is practical and collaborative, with a focus on helping people manage intense feelings and day-to-day distress.
Roseanna uses a blend of approaches to help people understand what drives their reactions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try out new responses. Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness of bodily and emotional signals, and Motivational Interviewing can help when someone wants change but feels stuck.
Her work addresses a broad set of concerns including phobias, trauma and the after-effects of loss. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, parenting pressures, self-esteem problems, addiction and the practical stresses of life change. Anger is included among the areas she helps people manage and understand.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, patterns from the past that keep repeating, and small practical steps to try between meetings. There is attention to both feelings and behaviour, so people leave with things to practise.
Roseanna has worked extensively with clients over many years and brings that experience into the sessions. She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she offers counselling in English. To begin, clients use the site matching process to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them, then decide which values-based actions to try next. It is useful for patterns that include avoidance, stuckness or persistent anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural experiments. It is practical for anxiety, low mood and repetitive reactions that cause problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily and emotional signals, which can help when anger flares quickly.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns and goals and agree which approaches to try together. This collaborative planning means techniques are introduced at a pace that fits your needs and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if that suits your schedule. Registered professionals often adapt exercises for the screen, for example by guiding mindfulness practices, using worksheets in-session or setting short between-session tasks to try in daily life.
