About Rebecca

Rebecca Pook is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain and relationship difficulties. Her practice also covers mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.

She uses a conversational, person-focused approach. Sessions are an opportunity to talk through patterns of thinking and behaviour and to try out different ways of responding. Rebecca offers honest feedback and supported challenge when it helps a person test new options in their life.

Her work draws on a few practical methods. Client-Centred Therapy is used to focus on the person's experience and perspective. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and work with strong feelings that shape relationships. Narrative Therapy gently looks at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories can change.

Rebecca pays attention to everyday pressures parents and caregivers face, including blended family issues, communication problems and caregiver stress. She also supports people dealing with loss, substance use, dissociation and the long-term effects of domestic violence or chronic illness.

People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking an initial session. Fees vary by location and are charged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How sessions work

How Rebecca uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what comes up and helping people notice their own choices. It helps with low self-esteem, stress and decisions around relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at strong feelings and how they shape connections with others. It supports people who find emotions overwhelming or who struggle to express needs in close relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and what feels manageable. That process can change over time as small experiments and new ways of relating are reviewed together.

The biography does not state which online session formats are used, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel for appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often offer remote work to help people balance therapy with parenting, work and other commitments.
