About Rebecca

Rebecca Riley is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Rebecca also supports clients dealing with relationship and family concerns and those affected by trauma and abuse.

She uses Client-Centred Therapy and focuses on listening and responding to what each person brings. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Rebecca aims to help people talk through pressing problems and make sense of difficult feelings.

Her practice includes additional areas such as adoption and foster care issues, substance-related concerns, control difficulties, and challenges connected to forgiveness, guilt and shame. Rebecca also addresses isolation, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions and financial stress when these come up in sessions.

People who have experienced sexual assault or abuse, infidelity, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) may bring those concerns into counselling. She also works with issues of sexuality and with those seeking to build more self-love and confidence.

Rebecca describes her role as one of listening and of helping clients find their own direction. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients notice patterns. Practical steps may be discussed when helpful, alongside simply talking things through.

To begin, she invites prospective clients to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Client-Centred Therapy works in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client brings. The counsellor follows the client’s pace, echoes back concerns, and helps clarify feelings. This approach is often used for issues like low self-esteem, grief, anxiety and navigating life changes.

In practice, sessions are conversational rather than directive. The counsellor asks open questions and offers reflections to help clients notice patterns and consider next steps. For trauma, relationship or family concerns the same emphasis on the client’s experience guides the work.

Choosing an approach happens together. Rebecca will discuss the Client-Centred way of working and how it fits your goals. She will help decide whether to continue with this style or adapt the way sessions are run based on your needs and preferences.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life by reducing travel and allowing appointments around work or family commitments. They can also allow for shorter check-ins or for avoiding the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage.
