About Rebecca
Rebecca Stokes is a BACP registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues and coping with life changes. Rebecca also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people dealing with parenting challenges, grief and career stress.
She uses a person-centred way of working, meaning the client is treated as the expert on their life and sessions are collaborative. Rebecca draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and mindfulness approaches when these fit a person's needs. Sessions move at a pace set by the client rather than following a rigid method.
In practical terms she talks with people about the thoughts, feelings and patterns that are getting in the way. This includes exploring loyalty conflicts, merging routines in new households, and the practical strains of co-parenting arrangements. She aims to help clients identify small changes they can try between sessions.
Rebecca trained to a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds a Level 5 qualification in Counselling Young People, and she is a registered member of the BACP. Her background includes work with bereavement services and other counselling organisations, which informs how she supports people through loss and major life transitions.
People who contact her are often unsure where to start. Rebecca will listen, help clarify what matters most, and plan manageable steps forward. She encourages straightforward conversations about goals and what each person hopes to change.
How Rebecca uses CBT, client-centred work and mindfulness online
Rebecca describes client-centred work as treating the person as the expert on their life and shaping sessions around what matters to them. This approach helps when someone needs time to make sense of changes or decide which problem to tackle first.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments and small behaviour changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and day-to-day coping strategies.
Mindfulness techniques are about simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase awareness of feelings in the moment. These can support stress management and help break repetitive thinking patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree on ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as needs evolve.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a work break. They can also let people use audio-only options if they prefer not to be on camera or need a lower bandwidth option.
