About Rebecca

Rebecca Nia is a UK-based counsellor who works in an integrative humanistic way. She holds BACP registration and has five years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and trauma. Rebecca aims to make sessions relaxed and practical so people feel able to talk and make changes.

Her approach combines a humanistic foundation with techniques drawn from other methods. She tailors sessions to each person, using tools that might include cognitive strategies, mindfulness practices and body-focused work to help settle strong feelings. This lets her adapt to problems that affect day-to-day life and relationships.

Rebecca often helps people facing chronic pain, phobias and life transitions that have knocked their confidence or routine. She also supports those dealing with identity and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, substance use struggles, career stress and the emotional effects of fertility or family breakdown.

Sessions are interactive and conversational. Rebecca describes her style as warm, informal and collaborative. She listens, reflects and offers practical steps you can try between meetings so progress can continue outside the hour.

Starting therapy here means working with someone who focuses on connection and clear goals. Rebecca encourages small experiments, mindfulness exercises and ways to reframe difficult thoughts. She aims to help people feel heard, clearer about their choices, and more able to cope with life's pressures.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Rebecca often uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and helps people notice patterns that influence trust and closeness. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so someone can feel understood and explore their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers clear, practical techniques to spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.

Choosing the right approach is something she does together with each person. Rebecca will talk through your goals, try different tools and settle on what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and can change as your needs change over time.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let you use mindfulness exercises or homework tasks between sessions so progress continues in daily life.
