About

About Regina

Regina Riley is a counsellor who focuses on helping people make sense of painful or confusing life moments. She works calmly and without judgement. Her approach puts the relationship with the person at the centre of the work.

Regina uses a mix of methods rather than one single model. She looks at how past patterns and attachments shape current feelings and reactions, and she brings practical tools for managing stress and low mood.

Background and approach

This helps people who face anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, or changes at work or home. She frames sessions as a shared process. People can expect to be listened to, and to have their experiences taken seriously.

Regina aims to create steadiness and acceptance so clients can begin to try things differently and notice gradual shifts. Her background includes four years working in counselling settings and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Regina is comfortable working with issues related to identity, including LGBT concerns, and a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Sessions can address specific problems like anger, parenting strain, or substance use, and deeper themes such as attachment, abandonment, and trauma. She offers therapy in English and in Ndebele dialects for those who prefer them.

Online support

How Regina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. In online sessions this might mean talking through significant patterns and practising new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and accepted; the counsellor mirrors the person’s concerns and helps them find their own solutions, which can be done through regular conversational sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions; online sessions commonly include setting small tasks between meetings to test changes. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Regina works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the work as progress is made. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time so counselling can be easier to keep. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when bandwidth or a quieter space is required. Session options are not specified here, so please confirm available formats when booking to ensure they suit your circumstances.
