Regina Riley, BACP

Regina Riley is an integrative counsellor who invites people to explore their experiences and make sense of life changes in a compassionate, nonjudgmental setting. She emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for work together, offering a steady, accepting presence that aims to provide a secure base for exploration and growth.

Regina listens attentively and values each person’s story, avoiding minimization of difficult feelings while helping clients notice patterns and find ways to cope. Her integrative orientation means she draws on multiple models of counselling rather than relying on a single approach, tailoring work to the individual rather than fitting people to a fixed method.

Clients can expect a focus on building trust and mutual respect, with Regina nurturing the relationship so it can support healing, self-discovery, and practical change. She describes the therapeutic journey as collaborative, centring the client’s experience and choices while offering professional guidance and consistent regard.

Regina holds BACP credentials, indicating registration with a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Regina often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and helps address issues around trust, intimacy, and abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy is central to her practice and prioritises the client’s perspective, offering empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Regina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Regina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options allow clients to engage from different locations and to choose the format that best suits their schedule and comfort, while maintaining the same relational focus and professional support available in face-to-face work.
