Rebecca Riley, BACP

Rebecca Riley is a qualified mental health professional based in the United Kingdom with three years of experience supporting people through a variety of emotional and psychological challenges. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, low self-esteem, confidence concerns, and major life transitions, offering steady support as they navigate change.

Her practice is informed by a client-centered approach that places each person at the center of the therapeutic work - she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and able to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Rebecca views clients as experts in their own lives and focuses on empowering them to identify goals, build coping strategies, and find clearer direction when managing relationship, family, trauma, or abuse-related issues.

She also provides help with related concerns such as adoption and foster care matters, control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, midlife transitions, financial stress, seasonal affective disorder, self-love, and matters of sexuality. Rebecca holds a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She offers therapy in English and works with clients within the United Kingdom.

Client-Centered Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Rebecca Riley practices from a client-centered perspective, which emphasizes empathetic listening, genuine acceptance, and respect for the client’s own experience. This approach encourages individuals to explore feelings and make meaning of their experiences, helping with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

In sessions, the therapist focuses on building a collaborative relationship that supports clients to set their own goals and discover personal strengths. The process is guided by the client’s needs and pace, and Rebecca works together with each person to determine whether the client-centered approach is the best fit or whether different strategies might better meet the client’s objectives.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or other convenient locations, allow consistent scheduling, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible. Many clients find this range of formats helpful for maintaining engagement and tailoring therapy to their lifestyle.
