About Rebecca

Rebecca Stokes is a BACP therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years' practice supporting adults and young people. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, and also offers help around parenting, anger, career and ADHD-related concerns.

Rebecca uses a person-centred style that treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what is happening now, and building practical steps clients feel able to try. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centred ways of working when these fit the person's needs.

Her background includes a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 5 qualification in Counselling Young People. That training supports work with bereavement, loss, separation, emotional and domestic abuse, sexual trauma, and other difficult life events. Rebecca has experience in counselling organisations and specialist bereavement services.

In sessions she helps people notice the thoughts and patterns that keep them stuck and then practises different strategies to reduce distress. That might include trying thought records or short behavioural experiments from CBT or learning brief mindfulness exercises to manage overwhelm.

Rebecca also offers focused support around identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues and blended family challenges. She accepts international clients and runs work in English, using a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online therapy

Rebecca works from client-centred principles which start by listening to what is most pressing for the client and following their pace. That approach helps people who find talking about themselves difficult, are unsure what to bring, or want a collaborative way of exploring problems.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to test different beliefs. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and situations that feel repeatedly stuck. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment noticing; these are short skills that many people find helpful for stress and anxiety.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rebecca will work with the client to agree which methods to try, adjust them if they do not fit, and set clear, practical steps between sessions. The aim is to match techniques to goals and personal preferences rather than imposing one way of working.

The biography does not list which remote session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, or have a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find digital sessions helpful for practical accessibility while still focusing on skills and steps that can be practised between meetings.
