About Rebecca

Rebecca Riley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practical experience supporting people through difficult times. She routinely helps with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. Rebecca focuses on listening closely and helping each person find their own way forward.

Her approach begins by making space for what matters to the client. She offers a calm, respectful atmosphere where someone can talk through painful memories, current worries or decisions they are facing. The emphasis is on understanding the person's story rather than imposing solutions.

Sessions tend to centre on the client's priorities. Rebecca helps people identify small, manageable steps and clearer ways to cope when life feels overwhelming. This can include thinking about relationships, family difficulties, issues around adoption or foster care, and struggles with control, guilt or shame.

She also works with concerns related to addiction, sexual assault and abuse, infidelity, loneliness, financial stress and questions about life purpose or midlife change. Seasonal Affective Disorder and sexuality are included among her focus areas where relevant.

Rebecca is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and she speaks English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect someone with a suitable schedule and plan for sessions.

Client-centred approaches and online working

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and helps the client make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, stress and relationship worries because it prioritises the client's perspective.

Rebecca uses a listening-led style that aims to help people clarify their goals and find workable steps forward. Deciding which therapeutic approach feels right is part of the work together. She will discuss options with clients and adapt how sessions progress to match a person's needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, please check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming formats helps you plan for session length, scheduling and the type of check-ins you prefer. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when that suits a person's routine. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to tailor meeting arrangements to each person's circumstances.
