Regina Riley, BACP

Regina Riley is a BACP counsellor who focuses on building a trusting relationship first. She introduces therapy as a shared journey and aims to create a space where people feel heard and respected. Regina describes herself as non-judgemental and values each person’s unique story.

She works in an integrative way, drawing on different approaches rather than sticking to a single model. That means sessions can include talking about past relationships, current patterns, and practical steps to manage difficult feelings. She often helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, low mood, grief, addictions, or relationship and intimacy-related issues.

Regina also supports people facing challenges such as parenting strain, career uncertainty, body image and self-esteem concerns, and the effects of trauma or abuse. She pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current behaviour and feelings. This can be useful when people want to understand why certain patterns repeat.

Her style is warm and person-centred, and she aims to give people a steady base from which to explore change. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of experiences, and finding small, practical ways to cope. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and decide the pace.

Regina has four years of practice experience and offers support to English and Ndebele speakers. She works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients, with session arrangements made after an initial match and booking process.

How Regina’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships affect present ones and helps people notice patterns that feel stuck. It is useful for people who want to understand why they relate to others the way they do and to build more dependable connections.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and involves active listening, acceptance, and working at the client’s pace. It can help when someone needs a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through painful feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means plans can change as understanding deepens and the client’s needs become clearer.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and removing travel time from appointments. Many people find remote sessions convenient for shorter check-ins or when quieter surroundings are needed. The biography did not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the exact online options available before booking.
