Rebecca Pook

Rebecca Pook is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and life changes. She works with clients concerned about mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and supports those wrestling with ADHD, relationship strain, parenting pressures and self-esteem. Rebecca brings a warm, compassionate presence and aims to create a calm space for people to talk and reflect.

She uses a collaborative, person-centred way of working. That means the person sits at the heart of therapy and Rebecca follows their lead while gently offering challenge when needed. Sessions can involve looking at patterns in thinking and behaviour, testing out new ways of responding, and building everyday coping skills for hard moments.

Rebecca explains ideas plainly and looks for practical steps alongside emotional understanding. She can help people make sense of painful events, manage ongoing stressors, and try different approaches to difficult relationships and life decisions. The work often mixes focused problem solving with slower exploration of feelings and meaning.

Rebecca holds BACP which indicates she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years' experience working with a range of concerns, including autism and Asperger syndrome related issues, attachment and abandonment, and caregiver stress.

Therapy with Rebecca is presented as a gradual process of discovery. She encourages people to recognise their own strengths, experiment with change at a manageable pace, and find ways to live as well as possible in the circumstances they face.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person’s experience at the centre of sessions, offering empathy, attentive listening and a space to make sense of feelings. This approach helps when someone needs steady support while they sort out stressors and emotional pain.

She also works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) ideas to help people recognise and name core emotions and how these shape their reactions. EFT-style work can be useful for relationship patterns, attachment worries and intense emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rebecca will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and may combine different ways of working as those needs change. The plan is agreed together and adjusted over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also enable shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit quieter moments and lower bandwidth if that helps someone engage. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so arrangements meet your needs.
