About Rebecca

Rebecca Nia is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and issues such as eating, sleeping, and addiction. Rebecca also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar, low self-esteem, and career-related stress.

Her practice draws on humanistic roots and an integrative way of working. She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method, combining elements that suit each person's needs. Sessions are interactive and conversational. She aims to help people identify patterns, manage symptoms, and make practical changes that fit everyday life.

Rebecca has a particular interest in anxiety, stress, grief and chronic pain conditions. She describes work with trauma and phobias as part of her caseload too. Much of her work looks at how difficulties affect daily routines, relationships and work, and she helps people find ways to cope with those impacts.

In sessions she takes a client-centred stance, listening first and then using techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas, attachment-focused thinking and mindfulness where helpful. She also uses narrative tools to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves.

People meet an informal and direct style. Rebecca focuses on practical steps and reflection. She encourages people to bring specific situations to sessions so they can be talked through and worked on together.

How sessions work

How online sessions can use attachment, CBT and client-centred work

Rebecca commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current responses; it can help with relationship and family-related concerns. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and partnership in the room, giving people time to name what matters and decide the pace. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences and together the client and counsellor will choose which methods to try. This collaborative process helps make sessions feel practical and relevant to everyday life. Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit meetings into busy days, shorten travel time, and pick a quieter hour between commitments. Others prefer sessions that avoid video for lower bandwidth or choose video when visual contact helps reflection. Discussing practical needs at the first appointment can make it easier to find a setup that suits daily routines.
