About Regina

Regina Riley is a counsellor who uses a relationship-focused way of working. She draws on compassionate, person-centred care to help people untangle feelings of depression, anxiety and stress. Regina aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried parents and individuals.

She speaks English and Ndebele languages and practises from the United Kingdom. She follows a blend of approaches rather than one fixed model. That means sessions can include talking through past attachments, looking at thought patterns that keep difficulties going, or gently exploring deeper themes from earlier life.

Background and approach

Regina has four years' experience and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. Common concerns she supports include coping with bereavement, managing addiction, navigating relationship and intimacy-related problems, and dealing with parenting stress. She also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, career changes and chronic health challenges.

Additional areas of focus include abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, and communication problems. Sessions are offered in a range of online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Regina uses a collaborative style - she listens first, then helps people find practical next steps that fit their life.

Many people come for short-term support around a particular problem or for longer exploration of recurring patterns. She invites people to start by completing a brief matching questionnaire. That helps match priorities and schedule a first session according to therapist availability.

Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Regina commonly blends attachment-based work with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns in parenting, intimacy and stress responses. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person’s lead, listens closely and reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and gives simple strategies to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Regina works collaboratively to agree what to try first and adjusts methods as needs and goals evolve. She aims to set clear, practical steps alongside reflective conversation so people can see progress in day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep regular contact and to access short, focused support between calls. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around family life and work commitments.
