Rebecca Riley is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. Rebecca aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them.

She believes each person knows their own story best and listens without judgement. Sessions focus on helping people make sense of difficult feelings and notice options for moving forward.

Background and approach

Rebecca works at a steady pace so people feel able to set the tempo of their work together. Her practice often addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. She also supports people facing addiction, control issues, infidelity, or struggles with guilt and shame.

Practical topics such as money worries, midlife questions, life purpose and Seasonal Affective Disorder are within her remit. Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to guide conversations and reflection. That means the room is led by the client’s goals and experiences, and the counsellor follows with empathy and curiosity.

People typically leave sessions with clearer thinking and small, manageable steps to try between meetings. Sessions are delivered in English and are offered through a range of online formats. Rebecca acknowledges how hard it can be to start therapy and aims to make the first steps straightforward and compassionate.

Client-centred care and online options

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead, helping them to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions where people need space to find their own answers.

Rebecca’s way of working is conversational and reflective rather than directive. She aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where goals are set together and adjusted as things change. Deciding on the right approach is part of the process and she will help clients choose what feels most helpful for their situation.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls recreate a face-to-face dynamic while allowing attendance from different locations. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing is easier to express thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit counselling into daily life and keep continuity between sessions.
