About Rebecca
Rebecca Riley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of hands-on experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to make talking about difficult things feel more manageable and less daunting.
Her work begins by listening closely to each person’s experience. She creates a calm space where people can say what matters to them and be treated with respect.
How Rebecca works
The goal is to help people feel clearer about what they are facing and what they want to change. Rebecca uses a client-centred way of working. That means she follows the person’s lead and offers support that fits their pace and priorities.
Conversations focus on practical steps and emotional understanding rather than labels and jargon. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, and challenges connected to adoption and foster care. She also helps when issues involve addiction, infidelity, guilt, shame, isolation or questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.
Sessions are offered in English and designed to suit different needs and rhythms of life. Rebecca acknowledges taking that first step is hard, and she aims to make the process straightforward and compassionate for anyone ready to begin. Her simple, steady style is aimed at building trust and helping people find clearer ways forward over time.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and reflects back what they hear. This approach helps people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and self-esteem struggles to feel understood and to find their own solutions.Working this way online means the pace and focus are decided together. The counsellor will check in about what helps most and adapt sessions over time. That collaborative process aims to match techniques and goals to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give different ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, flexible timing or times when writing feels easier than speaking.
Many people find online work fits around busy lives and makes regular contact more achievable. The counsellor will help decide which format works best and adjust the approach as things change.
