Regina Riley uses a relationship-focused approach to help people understand painful or confusing parts of life. She is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom and works in a warm, non-judgemental way. Regina speaks English and Ndebele (South and North dialects) and brings four years of professional experience to each meeting.
She draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help people feel heard and understood. Sessions often begin by talking about what feels hardest right now and building a steady sense of trust.
Background and approach
Regina focuses on clear, practical steps while also exploring deeper patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. Regina also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic thinking when they suit the issue. These methods help with anxiety, depression, and stressful life changes by looking at thoughts, behaviours and past influences.
Trauma-focused approaches are available for people dealing with abuse, grief or painful losses. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, career stress and body image. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, bereavement, divorce, and commitment or attachment worries.
Regina adapts her work to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed formula. To start, a short questionnaire matches people to a suitable pathway and then sessions are scheduled. Appointments can take place by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work for online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps people notice patterns in relationships and build a steadier sense of connection with others. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help them feel understood and accepted, which can be especially useful when talking through shame, self-esteem or identity concerns.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the person’s goals and preferences and then suggest a way forward that might combine methods. Sessions are adapted over time based on what helps most and what the person finds useful.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when needed, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship and progress.
