About Rebecca

Rebecca Riley is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and self-esteem concerns.

She works from a client-centred perspective that keeps the person's experience central. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting back what the client says. The aim is to help people notice patterns, make different choices and manage tough feelings in daily life.

Rebecca supports people facing life transitions and relationship or family problems. She also offers help with trauma and abuse, issues around adoption and foster care, and problems linked to alcohol and drug use. Other areas she covers include guilt, shame, infidelity, money worries, isolation and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is conversational and paced to the individual. Rebecca encourages people to set practical goals and to try small steps between sessions. She uses the client-centred method to follow what matters most to each person and to make space for difficult memories and emotions.

Rebecca works in English and does not take international clients. Before booking, people should check the current session options and practical arrangements. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session via the site.

Client-centred counselling and remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing and reflects back what the client shares. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to make sense of feelings like grief, anxiety or low self-esteem.

Rebecca uses a conversational style that follows the client's priorities. She will work with the person to agree how to approach problems and which goals to set. Deciding which way of working fits best is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote counselling easier to fit around work or childcare, or helpful when travel is difficult. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid the need to be on camera for an entire session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote work to help people keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
