About Rebecca

Rebecca Nia is a UK based counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains and anger among other problems.

Rebecca uses an integrative, humanistic-influenced approach. She combines person-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. Sessions are practical and interactive so you and she figure things through together rather than sitting back and talking at length.

Her work often focuses on how thoughts, feelings and bodily responses link together. She draws on attachment-based thinking to examine relationship patterns and on narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. For people with anxiety, stress, chronic pain or trauma she uses grounding and body-based strategies to ease high arousal.

Rebecca describes herself as informal and straightforward in session. She helps people uncover patterns, try out new ways of coping and practise skills between meetings. The pace is set by the client with guidance from the counsellor.

Practical goals are common in her work - reducing panic, managing anger more calmly, improving sleep or rebuilding trust after loss. People meet to talk things through, test small changes, and build clearer ways of handling day-to-day pressures.

If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's booking steps to match with Rebecca and arrange an initial session to see how the approach fits.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Rebecca often uses Attachment-Based ideas in sessions to look at patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and reactions. This approach helps with anger linked to trust, abandonment or long-standing relationship ruptures. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours; CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood and reactive anger.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences with the client and together they choose which methods to try. That means the plan can change as progress is made and different techniques are tested.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They can also let people choose audio-only meetings when they prefer not to be on camera. The focus remains practical: practising grounding, testing behaviour changes between sessions and using simple mindfulness tools so learning can be carried into everyday life.
