Rebecca Nia, BACP

Rebecca Nia is a UK-based counsellor with five years of practice and a BACP registration. She presents as warm and informal and aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who feel unsure or anxious about starting. Rebecca uses an integrative, humanistic approach that draws on different methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions are interactive and collaborative, so the person and Rebecca work together to understand what is getting in the way and to try practical ways to change things. She commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief, and also supports those meeting challenges with sleep, eating, addiction, chronic pain, or long-term health issues. Rebecca also focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, issues around attachment and abandonment, body image, parenting strain, and career-related stress. In a session she listens without judgement and offers straightforward tools and ideas you can try between meetings. Techniques may include thinking about unhelpful patterns, breathing and body-based calming, and telling your story in ways that change its hold on you. Rebecca accepts people from the UK and international clients and conducts sessions in English. She aims to help people feel heard, clearer about their next steps, and better able to cope with everyday pressures.

How Rebecca’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people notice and change those patterns by exploring relationship themes and trying new ways of relating.

Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to and accepted without judgement. In this way of working the counsellor follows your priorities, reflecting your thoughts and feelings so you can find your own solutions.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replaces them with more helpful ones. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress and often includes practical exercises you can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rebecca will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and goals. Sessions are tailored over time, and the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let you use body language and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be useful when you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who express themselves better in writing. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to make therapy more accessible and manageable alongside daily life.
