About Roseanna

Roseanna Cook is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 16 years of practice. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, trauma, loss and addiction, and helps people facing life changes and relationship difficulties. Roseanna offers practical, down-to-earth support for those feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

Roseanna uses straightforward talking, listening and evidence-informed methods to help people understand what they are facing. Sessions focus on what matters now - reducing distress, improving daily coping and building clearer ways to move forward. She draws on approaches that help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Her work covers long-term anxiety, intrusive thoughts, phobias and the aftermath of traumatic events. She also supports those dealing with bereavement, addiction, body image and eating concerns, and people adjusting to major life transitions such as changes in work or identity. Practical skills and reflective conversation both form part of the work.

Roseanna has experience addressing family and relationship problems, parenting stress, caregiving strain and issues connected to abandonment, attachment and foster care. She also assists with chronic illness and pain, codependency and challenges around intimacy and commitment. The emphasis is on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon.

Her sessions are described as professional and collaborative, with space for humour and honesty. People are encouraged to start with what they can bring to a first session rather than a fully formed plan. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial appointment.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match your values. It helps when anxiety or avoidance stops you doing the things that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, phobias and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so people can explore their concerns at their own pace.

The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. That means discussing what has helped or not helped before, trying approaches in-session and checking what feels useful. Finding the right mix of strategies is part of the work rather than a one-time decision.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work and busy schedules. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins and let people choose quieter times of day or places with less background noise. Registered professionals will discuss practical arrangements so sessions suit everyday life and commitments.
