About Rebecca

Rebecca Riley is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem and major life changes. Rebecca focuses on practical, conversational therapy rather than labels or lengthy explanations.

Her approach treats the person as the expert on their own life. Sessions centre on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of what is happening at home and in relationships. Rebecca aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and decide what matters next.

She works with issues that often arise around family and relationships, including adoption and foster care concerns, family problems and infidelity. She also addresses trauma and abuse, sexual assault and abuse, addiction, isolation and the strain of midlife changes. Practical matters such as money worries and Seasonal Affective Disorder are also part of her caseload.

Rebecca uses client-centred therapy. That means conversations follow what the client brings, with support to explore feelings and choices. Sessions are paced to the individual and focused on building understanding and self-direction.

People who come to Rebecca can expect straightforward language and steady listening. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life. To begin, readers are advised to check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before booking.

How sessions work

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of each session. It involves attentive listening, open questions and reflective feedback to help people make sense of feelings and choices. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns because it focuses on what matters most to the individual.

Therapy online can also be a simple way to fit support into a busy life. Rebecca uses a conversational style that aims to build understanding and practical next steps. She will work collaboratively with clients to decide which ways of working suit their needs and goals, adapting tone and pace as required.

Session formats are not specified in the biography. Please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, to arrange sessions around work or caring commitments, or to avoid travel on busy days. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people maintain continuity of care and keep therapy part of everyday life.
