About Regina
Regina Riley is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, anger and related difficulties. Regina also lists support for LGBT concerns and coping with life changes.
Regina describes her practice as integrative. She uses more than one way of working rather than relying on a single model. That means conversations might draw on attachment ideas, cognitive techniques, psychodynamic thinking or trauma-focused perspectives depending on what feels most helpful.
In sessions she emphasises the value of the therapeutic relationship. She aims to listen carefully and treat people without judgement. Meetings focus on talking through what matters, noticing patterns, and finding practical ways to manage distress day to day.
For someone finding social situations hard, Regina can address anxiety and phobic concerns alongside related issues such as low confidence, relationship difficulties and fear of being judged. She works on small steps and coping strategies as well as looking at underlying attachment or life history where that helps.
Regina also offers support around addiction, bereavement, parenting strain and career stress. She invites people to bring what matters most and to explore options together, balancing short-term coping with longer-term understanding.
Sessions are conducted in English and Ndebele languages as listed. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session formats and booking details before arranging a first appointment.
How Regina’s approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current responses; it helps when anxiety or fear of judgement shows up in social situations. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, favouring open listening and reflection to help build self-understanding and reduce shame. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to test unhelpful beliefs and reduce anxious avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods best suit the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as concerns shift or new priorities emerge.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins can be arranged around work, audio-only meetings use less bandwidth, and remote sessions remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent contact and focus on strategies for managing social anxiety and related issues.
