Rebecca Pook, BACP

Rebecca Pook is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries and addictions. She offers a calm presence for people working through grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles and major life changes. Rebecca uses a warm, equitable approach that aims to give people room to feel and think without judgment.

She stays alongside clients as they notice patterns that cause pain or get in the way of change. Conversations often look at attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, or the impact of chronic illness and caregiver stress. Rebecca can gently challenge a client’s assumptions and help them try new ways of responding.

Her practice draws on several ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s experience. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and work with strong feelings that shape relationships. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories might be understood differently.

Rebecca has five years’ experience and holds BACP registration. She works with issues including ADHD, bipolar and depression, as well as family and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and co-morbid conditions.

Sessions are conducted in English and Rebecca accepts international clients. The counselling relationship is collaborative: she helps clients find practical ways to manage stressors and to take steps toward the life they want to lead.

How Rebecca’s approaches fit with online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s lived experience and aims to make clients feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to talk through emotions and decisions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at the emotional patterns that shape relationship responses and helps people identify and name strong feelings so they can change how they relate. Narrative Therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and supports re-authoring those stories to open up different choices.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as priorities shift, and the client’s preferences guide which approaches are tried first.

Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a session into a work break. Different online formats have practical trade-offs, so confirm the current session options before booking. Rebecca’s methods translate well to conversation-based sessions and to work that focuses on feelings, stories and behavioural experiments, which can be done remotely with attention to practicalities like quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins.
