Rebecca Nia

Rebecca Nia is a UK-based counsellor who brings five years' practical experience to her work. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Rebecca describes her style as warm, informal and interactive, and she aims to help people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She uses an integrative approach, drawing on humanistic ideas alongside methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness. Sessions often combine conversational reflection with practical tools to manage symptoms such as anxiety, stress or anger. Rebecca also uses body-based techniques to help calm the nervous system when emotions feel overwhelming.

Many clients come with worries about grief, trauma, phobias, chronic pain and the ways these issues affect work and relationships. Rebecca works with these concerns through gentle exploration, practical strategies and collaborative problem-solving. The focus is on small, doable steps that fit into everyday life.

Rebecca describes the therapy space as non-judgemental and supportive. She encourages people to unpack difficult feelings at their own pace while helping them notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour. Sessions aim to build a sense of empowerment, insight and clearer direction.

Starting therapy can feel hard, and Rebecca names that bravery matters. She supports clients to set realistic goals and to notice change over time. If someone wants a mixture of talking, practical techniques and body-based calming, she offers that flexible style.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca commonly uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape patterns today, helping people understand why certain feelings and reactions keep returning. This approach can be useful for people struggling with relationship patterns, abandonment or emotional closeness.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, anger and low mood. CBT sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings to test new ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Rebecca will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she adapts tools as the work progresses so sessions stay relevant to the person's life.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins on a workday, and let people use mindfulness or breathing techniques in the moment. It can also help when quieter surroundings or reduced screen time are needed, for example by arranging a shorter phone check-in if that suits the person better.
