Rebecca Riley, BACP

Rebecca Riley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She supports people facing worry, low mood, grief, and big life changes. Rebecca helps clients talk through stress, anxiety, confidence issues and feelings that come after loss. She aims to create a calm space where people can be heard and understood.

Her practice centres on listening closely and responding to each person’s unique needs. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual rather than fitting them to a fixed method. That means time is spent untangling thoughts, naming emotions, and finding small steps that feel doable.

Rebecca works with practical everyday problems as well as deeper issues. She helps people explore relationship strains, family problems, addiction concerns, and trauma or abuse. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care matters, midlife questions, money worries, and feelings of isolation.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach that prioritises their pace. Rebecca uses client-centred therapy to guide conversations and encourage self-awareness. The aim is to help people build skills and insights they can use outside sessions.

Her sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat or text. Rebecca is registered with the BACP, which is listed as her credential. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair someone to a suitable schedule and booking time.

How client-centred therapy adapts to online care

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and supporting a person’s own insights. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what’s said, asks gentle questions and follows the priorities set by the client. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and decisions that come with life changes.

Working in a client-centred way online allows conversations to remain personal and paced to the individual. Rebecca will work collaboratively to identify which way of working feels most helpful, checking in about goals and adjusting the approach as needs change. Finding the right fit is part of the process and is decided together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need quick, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care.
