Rebecca Stokes

Rebecca Stokes is a BACP therapist who supports adults and young people through a wide range of emotional difficulties and life changes. She describes a calm, approachable manner and aims to create a warm space where people can talk honestly about what's troubling them. Becky encourages clients to go at their own pace and to focus on practical steps that feel achievable in daily life.

Becky trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a Level 5 qualification in Counselling Young People. She has three years of professional experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship difficulties. Her background includes work with counselling organisations and specialist bereavement services, which has informed her work with loss and bereavement.

Her practice combines a person-centred approach with techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on understanding thoughts and feelings, recognising repeated patterns, and building simple strategies to cope and move forward. Becky aims to help people make sense of what’s happening and to find small, practical changes that help day-to-day.

She lists a broad range of concerns she supports, including stress, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, separation and family problems. Becky also notes work with issues around intimacy, loneliness and life purpose. These areas guide her listening and the tools she offers in sessions.

If you are unsure what to expect, she suggests exploring your worries together and shaping the work around your needs. The focus is collaborative - decisions about pace and techniques are made with each person rather than imposed.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on treating the person as the expert in their own life, offering empathy and non-judgemental listening to help someone make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive space to talk things through and decide what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress when people want tools to manage symptoms day-to-day.

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce rumination and increase calm. It can support coping with overwhelm, chronic stress and repetitive negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and will agree together which methods to try. That means sessions can mix listening, practical exercises and short skills practice based on what suits you.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the original profile. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio-only times when they do not want to be on camera, while others use video for a fuller face-to-face feeling. Ask about available options when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
