Rebecca Pook, BACP

Rebecca Pook offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and major life changes. She works in a warm, compassionate way and makes space for strong emotions. Rebecca uses a gentle mix of listening and supported challenge to help people find more effective ways of coping.

Her approach focuses on helping people notice patterns in thinking and behaviour. She encourages practical experiments and small changes. Rebecca helps people identify what they can control and find ways to live better with things they cannot change.

Rebecca describes counselling as a shared process. She does not simply give answers; she listens, reflects and guides people to discover their own solutions. Sessions are designed to offer time and space to think clearly and practise new responses.

She draws on client-centred work to make people feel heard, emotionally-focused ideas to look at core feelings, and narrative tools to reframe personal stories. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to change habits such as drug or alcohol use.

Rebecca has five years' experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with issues including depression, bipolar, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Therapy can be arranged in formats that suit different lives and schedules, and Rebecca supports clients to take practical steps at a pace that feels manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Rebecca often uses client-centred therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work and focuses on warm listening and understanding. This approach helps people feel heard and able to explore difficult feelings at their own pace.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, an approach that helps identify and work with core emotions in relationships and personal patterns. EFT can be useful for people who want to understand how feelings shape their behaviour and improve emotional connection with themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca discusses what feels most helpful, and she adapts methods to fit a person’s goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and pace are made collaboratively so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick reflections or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while preserving continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
