About Rebecca
Rebecca Stokes is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom. She supports adults and young people with a wide range of emotional difficulties and life changes. Becky aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, warm approach that helps people feel able to talk about what matters to them.
She focuses on creating a trusting working relationship where the person is treated as the expert on their own life.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that suits the client, and Becky listens for the patterns that might be keeping someone stuck. She uses a person-centred foundation alongside techniques drawn from other approaches when helpful. Her work includes help for stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and relationship issues.
She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, career worries, LGBT concerns, ADHD, and problems like chronic illness, chronic pain or caregiver stress. Becky has experience with separation, loss and issues connected to body image and life purpose.
Rebecca holds a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and a Level 5 qualification in Counselling Young People, and she is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has around three years of practice experience working across counselling settings and bereavement services.
She works collaboratively to help people explore thoughts and feelings, recognise unhelpful patterns and try new coping strategies. If someone is unsure where to start, Becky helps them clarify what they need and plan simple, achievable steps forward.

How Rebecca works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce overwhelm and increase awareness of the present moment. This can help with stress, rumination and learning to respond differently to strong emotions.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest a way of working that feels right. This can change over time as the work progresses.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and avoid travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or for choosing a non-video option if that suits the person better. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking to choose what works best.
