About Regina
Regina Riley is a counsellor who focuses on building a steady, respectful relationship with each person she meets. She introduces a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed, down, or unsure how to move forward. Her work draws on several approaches rather than a single set of techniques.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships, and she applies client-centred listening so people feel heard and respected.
Background and approach
She also brings in cognitive behavioural techniques and trauma-focused thinking when they suit the issue. Regina has worked in counselling for four years and holds BACP registration, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She speaks English and both South and North Ndebele, and she offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
People come to her for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship and family worries, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, parenting strain, anger, career stress and depression. She also addresses specific areas like attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and issues related to separation and divorce. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns that keep causing pain.
Conversations are practical and grounded - exploring feelings, testing small changes, and finding ways to cope with life transitions. The aim is to build a reliable working relationship and steady progress over time.

Online support
She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try small practical changes. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches to use, so the plan fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where listening and checking in guide what happens next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help people fit counselling around busy lives and different schedules.
