Rebecca Pook, BACP

Rebecca Pook is a counsellor who supports people facing midlife challenges, stress and anxiety. She works with those struggling with mood issues such as depression and bipolar, and with people affected by addiction, trauma, grief or major life change. She also helps clients dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, self-esteem and career concerns. Rebecca approaches each person with warmth and equity, offering a non-judgemental space to talk and think things through.

Rebecca uses a collaborative approach in sessions. She listens closely and reflects what she hears, then gently invites new ways of looking at problems. When a client wants challenge, she will offer supportive encouragement to try different responses and notice what changes. The aim is to help people recognise their own strengths and make practical shifts that fit their life.

Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes. Rebecca can help with practical coping for stress and with managing difficulties that are outside a person’s control. She also works with issues such as attachment or abandonment, body image, and communication problems, tailoring the focus to each person’s needs.

Her practice includes approaches that emphasise the client’s experience and story. Rebecca helps people make sense of painful events, explore values, and reconnect with what matters to them. She frames counselling as a shared process of discovery rather than a set of ready-made solutions.

Rebecca is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has five years of experience and works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s experience, offering empathic listening and reflection to help clients feel understood and explore issues in their own time. This approach suits people who need space to process feelings and build self-trust.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which looks at patterns in close relationships and the emotions that drive them. EFT can help with improving connection and handling difficult conversations by identifying underlying needs and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rebecca will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods so they fit the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative process helps shape sessions around what a client wants to address.

For practical matters around online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, allowing shorter check-ins, evening appointments, or sessions that avoid travel. They also let people choose quieter surroundings or switch off video when that is preferable, which can make it simpler to focus on the issues at hand.
