About Rebecca

Rebecca Nia is a UK-based counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, phobias and related difficulties that affect daily life and relationships.

Rebecca sees therapy as a practical conversation. Sessions are interactive and informal. She uses a range of approaches and picks tools that suit the person in front of her rather than one fixed method.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She also uses narrative approaches to help people make sense of painful experiences and reduce their impact on everyday life.

Rebecca often supports people coping with chronic pain, parenting strain, breakup and separation issues, and concerns around self-esteem, body image or intimacy. She also works with addiction, career stress, compassion fatigue and questions linked to identity and sexuality within the LGBT context.

Sessions usually focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns. Rebecca helps people notice what keeps a problem going and then experiments with small changes to thinking, behaviour or routine. That can make social situations, work stress or persistent worrying more manageable.

She accepts clients from the UK and internationally, and conducts work in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so she can assess needs and agree goals together.

Approaches used in online sessions

Rebecca draws on attachment-based work which looks at patterns formed in relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions; this can help with social anxiety, abandonment concerns and intimacy issues. She also uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel understood and able to talk through difficult thoughts. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to notice unhelpful thinking and to try practical experiments that change behaviour and reduce worry.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which approaches to try first. That collaborative testing helps figure out what helps in everyday life rather than assuming one route fits everyone.

The practical advantages of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. You should confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Many people find shorter check-ins, video meetings or phone calls useful for keeping progress steady while balancing work, family and other commitments.
