She also supports people facing parenting challenges, career crossroads, body image issues and long-term health problems.
Regina pays attention to identity-related issues including LGBT matters and intimacy-related difficulties. Regina holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of clinical experience and aims to adapt sessions to each person's pace.
Her style is straightforward, non-judgemental and attuned to the person's needs.

Practical therapy approaches you can access online
Regina uses trauma-focused therapy to help people look at the effects of past harm and reduce its impact on day-to-day life. This approach concentrates on what happened, how it still affects thoughts and feelings, and ways to build new responses.She also works with attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape emotional patterns. Talking about connection and caregiving can reveal why certain situations trigger strong reactions and help people try different ways of relating. Client-centred methods are used alongside these approaches to keep the conversation led by the client's priorities and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person's goals, preferences and what feels manageable. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing reflection and when a written format feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across locations and schedules.
