About Regina

Regina Riley is a counsellor who focuses on building a trusting relationship first. She aims to help people who feel stuck, sad or unsure about their next steps. Regina speaks English and Ndebele and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

She uses a mix of approaches rather than one single model. That means she will draw on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centred work to create a respectful space where clients set the pace and direction. Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of her toolkit when people want practical steps to change thoughts and habits. Regina also weaves in psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns that might come from early experience.

For people affected by trauma, trauma-focused methods aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. Regina has four years of clinical experience and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She emphasises non-judgement and steady support throughout the process.

Sessions take different shapes depending on needs and may include talking, problem-solving or exploring feelings and memories. She commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, grief and parenting strains. Additional concerns she sees include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems and issues related to separation or domestic violence.

Ways of working Regina names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Regina's approaches work online

Regina commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online practice. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people practise new ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical steps to change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working. This is a collaborative process and she adapts methods as you progress to find what helps most.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging let people check in or reflect between longer sessions without scheduling a full call.
