About Rebecca

Rebecca Pook is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and major life changes. She also helps with concerns such as self‑esteem, career pressures, relationship and parenting strain, and mood differences including depression and bipolar. She works with those affected by trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.

Rebecca brings a warm, compassionate presence to sessions. She aims to create a supported space where people can reflect and let out difficult feelings. She sits alongside clients rather than directing them, and encourages gentle challenge when it will help someone see situations differently.

In practice she looks for patterns of thinking and behaviour that feel important to change. She helps people try out small shifts and notice what works. She also offers practical ways to manage everyday stressors that can’t be fully controlled.

Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person. Rebecca frames counselling as a shared process of discovery rather than a series of fixed solutions. She focuses on helping people recognise their own strengths and make choices that feel right for them.

Rebecca holds BACP accreditation, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years' experience and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients. Please confirm current session formats when you book.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s perspective front and centre. The counsellor listens without judging and follows the client’s lead to help them understand their feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions in relationships and personal patterns, which can ease distress and improve how someone connects with others. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps them reframe those stories to find more helpful meanings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rebecca will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for a person's goals and preferences. That might mean combining elements from different approaches and trying things out together to see what feels useful.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins around work or caregiving. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of care when location changes, while the counsellor and client adapt the pace and style to suit each session.
