About Rebecca
Rebecca Stokes is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She supports adults and young people through a wide range of emotional difficulties and life changes. Rebecca aims to make first contact feel less daunting and offers a calm, down-to-earth approach to talking about difficult things.
Rebecca trained to a Level 4 diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a Level 5 qualification in Counselling Young People. She has three years' experience and has worked in organisations that support children, young people and bereaved clients.
How Rebecca works
Her background includes work with people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, bereavement, relationship difficulties and the effects of trauma. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred way of working. She treats each client as the expert in their own life and works at a pace that feels right for the individual.
Rebecca also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness techniques when these fit the client's needs. Sessions focus on understanding what is going on now and how patterns may be keeping someone stuck. She helps people name thoughts and feelings, try small changes, and test new ways of coping that feel achievable.
The aim is practical progress rather than quick fixes. Rebecca brings warmth, honesty and straightforward listening to her sessions. She encourages a collaborative relationship where goals are shaped together.
If someone is unsure what they need, she supports them to clarify their priorities and take steady steps forward.

How Rebecca's approaches translate to online counselling
Rebecca draws on client-centred work that focuses on listening and understanding the person's priorities. This approach is about helping people feel heard and deciding goals together, which suits conversation-based online sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes; online sessions can support this by working through exercises and homework together. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus, and these techniques can be taught and practised during remote appointments.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Rebecca will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit. She adapts methods over time if something is not helping, so the plan changes as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel by avoiding a commute. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and video or phone options can be chosen to suit comfort with being on camera or bandwidth limits.
