Counselling in Richmond upon Thames

I offer counselling for adults and young people who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious or caught in patterns that have become difficult to change.

From the outside, you might appear to be coping well. You may be getting on with everyday life, supporting other people and doing everything that needs to be done, while inside you're overthinking, being hard on yourself or simply feeling exhausted from holding everything together.

Sometimes the ways we learn to cope develop much earlier in our lives. They may have helped us through difficult experiences at the time, but as adults we can find ourselves repeating the same patterns even when they're no longer helping us.

You might find yourself wondering, “Why am I so hard on myself?”, “Why do I always feel like I have to cope?” or “Why can't I switch off?”

Counselling gives you a space where you don't have to keep everything together. Together, we can explore what's happening underneath, understand where some of these patterns may have come from and help you find ways of responding to yourself with less pressure and judgement.

You don't need to change everything at once. We can work at your pace, starting with what's happening for you now and what you would like to feel different.

I offer face-to-face counselling, as well as online and telephone counselling, alongside group counselling.

I also work with clients from Kingston, Twickenham, and surrounding Whitton areas.
