Regina Riley, BACP

Regina Riley is an integrative counsellor who invites people to explore difficult questions and to make sense of life changes. She supports individuals dealing with low mood and difficulties coping, offering a steady, nonjudgmental presence as clients begin a journey of healing and self-discovery.

Her work is grounded in the belief that no single model can fully account for a person’s experience, so she blends approaches to meet each person's needs. The therapeutic relationship is central to her practice - she focuses on building a reliable, respectful connection that can act as a secure base for change.

Regina emphasises listening and validating each person’s story rather than minimizing concerns. She values individuality and treats each person with acceptance and respect. Regina Riley holds BACP accreditation, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adherence to professional standards.

Relational and Practical Approaches for Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and ongoing relationships shape how people relate to others and manage emotions. It helps when difficulties involve trust, intimacy, abandonment or attachment issues by creating a corrective, supportive therapeutic connection.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. It emphasises empathy, acceptance and collaboration so that people can explore values, identity and self-esteem at their own pace, which is helpful for life transitions, relationship concerns and low mood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is practical and goal oriented and can support those coping with anxiety, stress, addictive behaviours and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Regina Riley and other registered professionals will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and can combine approaches as required.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing people to access consistent support around work, family or travel commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the format that feels most comfortable and effective for the individual.
