About Regina
Regina Riley is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties, and with those dealing with grief, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Regina also lists areas such as parenting, career strain and coping with life changes among her concerns.
Regina describes herself as an integrative counsellor who draws on more than one approach when needed. She emphasises the therapeutic relationship as central and aims to build a steady, respectful connection that helps clients feel heard. Sessions are presented as a place to talk through confusing emotions and practical problems without judgment.
Her practice includes work informed by attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic thinking. That means conversations may explore current patterns, earlier relationships, or practical steps to manage worry and low mood. Regina also notes trauma-focused methods when past harm is part of the picture.
People who want straightforward discussion about life transitions often find this approach useful. Regina will listen to personal history and current stresses, and then suggest ways to address them together. She aims to respond to what each person brings rather than follow a single script.
Regina offers sessions in English and in both North and South Ndebele. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are made after completing an initial matching process.
How Regina’s approaches translate to online work
Regina draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred practice alongside cognitive behavioural tools. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours or feel unsafe in close connections. Client-centred methods focus on careful listening and reflecting what a person says, so the therapist follows the client’s concerns rather than imposing a plan. CBT offers practical strategies to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Regina will discuss your goals, past experiences and preferences, and then agree on which ideas to use together. She aims to adapt methods as the work progresses so sessions remain relevant to what you need.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you are overseas, international arrangements can be discussed after the matching questionnaire. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the exact options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep continuity during study, shifts at work or when managing appointments around other commitments.
