Rebecca Nia, BACP

Rebecca Nia is a UK-based counsellor with five years' experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works in an integrative, human-centred way, blending different tools to meet each person's needs. Rebecca aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard and understood before practical change begins.

She often supports people facing anxiety, stress and grief, and those living with chronic pain or phobias. Rebecca also works with trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and challenges around self-esteem and career. She lists a wide range of additional focus areas such as attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and infertility-related distress.

Her sessions are collaborative and interactive. Rebecca listens, helps clients notice patterns, and introduces techniques from different approaches when useful. She describes herself as open, informal and supportive, and aims to help people unpack difficult thoughts and feelings so they can make changes that matter.

Rebecca uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and narrative work. She tailors those approaches to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed formula. That flexibility means a session might include breath or body-based calming, practical problem work, or reflective talking depending on what is needed.

If someone is nervous about starting therapy, Rebecca acknowledges that first steps can feel hard and offers steady support throughout the process. She encourages people to bring what feels most pressing and to pace the work to their needs.

How Rebecca’s approaches translate to online work

Rebecca commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns, helping people understand why they react as they do and how to build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying practical steps to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress.

She also uses client-centred and mindfulness elements, which mean sessions can include reflective listening and simple grounding or breathing practices to help calm the nervous system. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which approaches to try first and how to adapt them as work progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also make some tools easier to use at home, such as guided breathing or written exercises, while other tasks may be done between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can help people choose an approach that fits their day-to-day routine and therapeutic aims.
