About Regina
Regina Riley is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with life changes, stress and emotional pain. She works in a way that puts the relationship with each client first. Regina is gentle and non-judgemental and aims to make people feel heard and valued.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor, which means she draws on more than one approach rather than using a single method. That helps her match the way she works to the person in front of her. Regina often uses ideas from attachment work, client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused thinking to shape sessions.
Regina has four years of experience and is a BACP member, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions and grief. She also helps people dealing with relationship stress, parenting strain, body image worries and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Regina lists additional focus areas such as coping with natural or human-caused disaster, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She says she listens without minimising someone’s experience and seeks to build a dependable working relationship that feels like a stable base.
People who want to start are invited to make contact through the site's Start Therapy process. Regina works with English and both South and North Ndebele, and she accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and emotional needs; in practice this means the counsellor pays attention to trust, safety and how patterns repeat in relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions and involves empathic listening, reflection and helping people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods that suit the person, and adjust the way she works based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where feedback from the client informs the next steps.
Confirm the current session options before booking as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity after disruptive events such as a natural or human-caused disaster, while the counsellor helps people process what has happened and plan coping steps.
