About Regina
Regina Riley is an integrative counsellor who focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client as the foundation for change. She presents herself as non-judgemental and attentive, aiming to listen and value each person’s experience. Regina works from a stance of acceptance and respect for individual difference.
She uses a blend of approaches rather than relying on a single model. That means sessions might include talking through past attachments, exploring current thinking patterns, or looking at early life influences that still affect day-to-day feelings.
Background and approach
The mix is chosen to fit what a person brings in each session. Regina’s background includes four years of clinical experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That connection indicates she works within widely understood professional standards in the UK.
She is able to converse in English and in both North and South Ndebele. People come to her for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, and self-esteem problems. She also supports issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and separation or divorce.
In sessions she aims to build a supported base so people feel able to say difficult things. Conversations are practical and paced to a person’s needs. The goal is clearer understanding and better ways of coping with life’s changes.
To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged according to the therapist’s availability.

How Regina works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk through options and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative so people help decide what feels most useful as therapy unfolds.
The practical appeal of online therapy is that it can fit more easily around everyday life. Confirm the session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a lunch break, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists on this site, use online work to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult to arrange.
