About Rebecca

Rebecca Nia is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years’ experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, chronic pain and related life difficulties. Rebecca names anger among the concerns she addresses and helps people notice how it affects relationships and day-to-day life.

She trained in a humanistic approach and now works integratively. That means she draws on several ways of working rather than one fixed method. Rebecca blends person-focused listening with structured tools to help people manage strong feelings and upsetting memories.

Sessions are informal and interactive. Rebecca describes herself as open and friendly, and she works alongside clients to untangle thoughts and emotions. In practical terms she uses talking, breathing and body-focused techniques to help calm the nervous system and reduce distress.

Her work often covers anxiety and phobias, stress linked to family or work, grief, chronic pain and trauma. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and the strain of caregiving. Rebecca pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues when these are relevant to a person's difficulties.

Expect a mix of reflective conversation and focused tasks. Rebecca may introduce cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness exercises or narrative work to help people shift unhelpful patterns. She encourages small, manageable steps and practical strategies that can be used between sessions.

Rebecca offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm the session formats she is offering currently so arrangements fit your life and needs.

How Rebecca applies approaches online

Rebecca commonly combines Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred techniques and cognitive behavioural ideas in her practice. Attachment-Based work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current reactions. It can help when anger or fear are tied to trust and closeness. Client-Centred techniques focus on careful listening and reflecting what a person is experiencing, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas bring in practical tasks and experiments to change thinking and behaviour that fuel anger and anxiety.

Choosing the right mix is collaborative. Rebecca will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adapt methods as therapy unfolds. That means you and she decide together whether to focus more on breathing and body work, exploring past patterns, or doing specific behavioural exercises.

Confirm the current session options before booking to be sure they fit your routine. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel, enabling shorter check-ins and making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving. Phone or video choices can suit different needs - for example a phone call can be a quicker check-in while video may help with visual cues - so pick what works for you and confirm the available formats when you book.
