About Rebecca
Rebecca Stokes is a BACP registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting worries and life changes. She also supports people with grief, intimacy concerns and identity matters including LGBT questions.
Becky uses a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert on their own life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques when these fit a person's goals. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps as much as on understanding feelings.
She has training in counselling young people and experience from bereavement services, which informs her work with loss and family-related problems. Becky pays attention to how patterns from the past affect current reactions and relationships. This helps when someone wants to break repeating cycles or cope with big transitions.
In a session she listens, reflects and helps people notice thoughts and behaviours that keep them stuck. Together they try small, manageable changes to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Mindfulness exercises and CBT-style thinking tools are offered when useful.
People seeking support for parenting stress, blended family difficulties, ADHD or autism-related needs often come to her for focused, practical help. She also works with concerns such as chronic illness, caregiver strain, body image, and issues arising from separation or infidelity.
If someone wants to begin, they fill in a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The therapist then discusses goals and a way of working that suits the individual's situation.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Rebecca works from a person-centred base, which means sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the individual and building on their own knowledge of their life. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk and to make sense of complicated feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT offers clear tools for tackling anxiety, low mood, unhelpful thinking and parenting-related worry. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, overwhelm and improving focus in everyday moments.
Choosing the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit best, based on the client's goals and preferences, and they review progress as they go.
The biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can be easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's schedule. They can also make it simpler to keep continuity of support when circumstances change, and tools from CBT and mindfulness can be practiced between sessions to reinforce learning.
