Rebecca Riley

Rebecca Riley is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with major life changes and questions about life purpose.

Rebecca uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person rather than labels. Sessions are organised around what the client wants to talk about. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and feelings so they can try different ways of responding.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, adoption and foster care issues, and problems with control or substance use. Rebecca also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation and midlife questions. She recognises how financial strain, seasonal mood changes and questions about sexuality can affect daily life.

Rebecca aims to make the work straightforward and practical. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with space for processing emotion and for planning small steps forward. She encourages reflection on values and priorities when clients are reassessing what matters to them.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

Client-centred approaches and online working

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear, and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps when someone wants space to make sense of feelings like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem rather than being guided by a set technique.

Because Rebecca centres sessions on what each person brings, she will work with clients to find how the approach fits their concerns. Deciding which ways of working to try is collaborative. The client’s goals, preferences and practical needs guide how sessions are shaped over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Practically, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week. It can remove travel time, allow a shorter check-in if needed, and make it simpler to join from a quieter location. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit whether someone prefers talking with or without video, keeping sessions focused on what the client needs.
