About Rebecca

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, depression and major life changes. Her practice also covers relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues such as adoption and foster care, addiction, and guilt and shame.

Rebecca keeps sessions focused on what matters now. She listens without judgement and helps people put words to difficult feelings. Conversations move at a steady pace, with time to reflect and to consider practical next steps.

Her background is in client-centred therapy, which means she follows the person’s lead and responds to their experience. That approach is often used for worries about identity, self-worth, and the aftermath of painful events. It gives space to notice feelings and to work out what matters most next.

Rebecca also supports people dealing with forgiveness, infidelity, isolation, midlife questions, money worries and sexuality. She talks through how these issues affect everyday life and relationships. Sessions can include looking at coping strategies and ways to manage practical pressures.

Clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire before a first meeting. That helps establish goals and the best route forward. Fees vary with location and sessions are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred Work Can Translate Online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to reflect what they say back in a helpful way. It is useful when someone is working through feelings like guilt, shame, low self-worth or the impact of loss. The therapist listens, mirrors concerns, and helps the person clarify what they want to focus on next.

In conversation, Rebecca will treat finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will check what is working and what needs to change, and she will adapt sessions based on the client’s goals and preferences. This helps shape whether to spend more time on practical coping or on exploring deeper feelings.

This profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments. Online meetings can reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins if needed, and make it easier to keep sessions during busy weeks. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss how to structure online meetings so they suit the client’s schedule and needs.
