Roseanna Cook

Roseanna Cook is a counsellor who uses a warm, collaborative approach to help people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions. She works with adults and young people aged 13 and above. Sessions begin where the person is and focus on practical steps to feel calmer and more like themselves.

Roseanna draws on different therapy styles to suit each person’s situation. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live with difficult feelings while making valued choices. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Client-centred listening and mindfulness exercises help people slow down and notice what matters most to them.

She has 16 years of practice and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. Her background includes work with anxiety, trauma, phobias, bereavement, addictions and long-term stress. This experience shapes how she plans short- and longer-term work with clients.

Roseanna pays attention to practical life pressures like burnout, parenting strain and career change. She also supports people facing identity, body image and relationship concerns, and those coping with chronic health or caregiving roles. Her sessions are tailored to the person’s goals and pace.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Roseanna invites a simple first step of completing the short questionnaire and arranging a session. She helps people set clear next steps and reviews progress together as therapy continues.

How her approaches translate to online work

Roseanna uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice painful thoughts and still take steps towards what matters. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different responses, which can reduce anxiety and manage intrusive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix listening, skill practice and homework so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so it is best to confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can still use the same techniques across different settings, adapting exercises so they work well in each appointment.
