Rebecca Riley
Supportive client-centred counsellor
About Rebecca
Rebecca Riley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting people through emotional challenges. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and low self-esteem. Rebecca aims to create a calm, accepting space where people feel heard and able to speak openly about what matters to them.
She works in a way that puts the person at the centre. That means listening first, then helping people notice patterns and make manageable changes.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs rather than following a strict protocol. Rebecca often helps people facing major life changes and relationship or family tensions. She also supports those dealing with trauma, issues around adoption or foster care, problems with control, and struggles with addiction or recovery.
Practical concerns such as money stress, career crossroads and midlife questions are also within her focus. Additional areas Rebecca attends to include forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, sexual assault and matters of sexuality. She offers support for seasonal mood shifts such as Seasonal Affective Disorder and for people exploring life purpose and self-love.
Her approach is client-centred, which means she follows each person’s lead and adapts to what they say they need. People who want a respectful, steady listener and someone to help them make small, realistic changes often find this style helpful.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client can explore feelings and find their own solutions. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions.Rebecca will work collaboratively to find the right approach for each person. She will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the way she works as conversations develop. Finding the best fit is part of the process and happens together over a few sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to plan therapy around daily life and different schedules.
