About Regina
Regina Riley is a counsellor who focuses on building a dependable working relationship as the starting point for change. She offers a welcoming, non-judgemental presence and aims to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Regina works in English and Ndebele and brings four years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.
She uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed model. That means conversations can include looking at how past attachments shape current patterns, discussing practical thoughts and behaviours, or exploring deeper life themes that keep repeating.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what a person needs in the moment. Regina often helps people who are dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, problems with self-esteem and issues connected to addiction and recovery.
Additional areas she can address include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, divorce and anger management. In practice she keeps things simple and direct. People can expect a listening space where their experience is noticed and respected, practical steps are considered, and patterns are talked through without blame.
The aim is to build a steady base to try new ways of coping. Regina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works online with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and she accepts clients internationally.
How Regina’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how someone feels and connects now. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships, practise new ways of relating and reflect on emotional reactions. Client-centred therapy puts the person and their experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor offers empathic listening and helps people find their own pace and direction. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change unhelpful cycles, which can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Regina will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative approach means techniques can be adapted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging add flexibility. Video is useful for a full face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical change.
