Online Counselling for Richmond

My ideal client is YOU. I am confident that we can work together and establish goals that I will help you achieve. No challenge is too great and no obstacle too large. We can figure out solutions in a caring, supportive environment. Come see what we're all about today.

I offer confidential and creative psychotherapy to individuals and couples. I work worldwide using Zoom, and in-person in London, UK. My clients usually arrive to work through a difficulty – including anxiety and depression, situations with relationships and sex, issues with alcohol or drugs, loss, recent or historic abuse, betrayal, self-esteem, anger, or a sense of being directionless or stuck. I respect the urgency of the situation – the need to find a way through – and the need for that way to be sustainable and authentic to who you are.

It can be really hard asking for help. It can be even harder to think about your own needs when you’re so used to caring for others. What if we’re seen as a failure for not being able to do it all on our own? It can make us feel stuck, trapped even, behind our own smiles and silence. But I see you and I hear you. Life doesn’t have to feel this way. A lot of my clients find it hard taking up space, who have built their lives on prioritising the needs and feelings of others, leading them struggling to identify let alone ask for what they want.

If you find yourself struggling to manage the particular challenges your life brings, it could be time to switch out of ‘survival mode’ and address how you are feeling in a more deliberate way. I provide a safe and supportive space for you to widen your perspective, strengthen your understanding of whatever difficulties you are facing, and uncover a new way forward.

I have been working in the NHS for more than 7 years and split my time between working in the NHS and Private Practice. I am experienced working with people with a wide range of mental health difficulties including those who have been admitted to hospital. I am experienced in the assessment and treatment planning with individuals to help guide interventions that are meaningful for the them.

Life can feel as though everything is getting too much. Are you low, irritable or anxious? Or is there something you want to talk through? Then therapy may be for you. Being in a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental environment with an experienced trained professional, listening and providing support can help you start to lead a more fulfilling life. Building a trusting relationship with me can support you with trauma, anxiety or relationship issues. Through in-depth exploration we can enable you to understand yourself, yourself with others and gain new insights, awareness and choices.

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and Supervisor working with Adults and Adolescents. I work with individuals and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, self-esteem,​ and relationship issues. Sometimes it is difficult to find the words to describe your emotions or how you are feeling. Please note I am still offering both online and telephone counseling during the COVID situation.

Hello, my name is Dr Sonia Marquardt and I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I offer individual psychological therapy to young people and adults who are looking for a professional to explore their difficulties with. I also offer couples therapy. Mental health affects all of us at some point in our lives. The last two years have been particularly challenging. Many of us have been affected in multiple ways by the covid pandemic and we may need some external support to manage feelings of stress, loneliness and isolation, panic and worry, and feeling low.

My primary focus is to provide you with safe and effective therapy centered around respect and a commitment to your wellbeing. I help you with issues such as anxiety and depression, work related issues, stress and acute stress reactions, chronic health conditions, low self-esteem and relationship problems. I have special interest in working with adjustment issues and change. My approach is integrative, relational, and humanistic. I believe that the most important aspect of successful psychotherapy is the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist.

I imagine that if you are suffering or in distress, (which shows up in so many different ways), you might want to feel the connection or relief from talking to someone who can be really present and listen to you in a non-judgemental way.You could need some support in understanding that what happened in the past continues to affect your present experience of yourself, your relationships and how you imagine your future. Your old ways of doing things may seem that they are not working; psychotherapy could provide you with some hope that something good may arise from your struggles and that your struggles are uniquely meaningful.

I work respectfully with a diverse range of clients and situations bringing a warm, supportive and non-judgemental approach. I work with many issues including, (but not exhaustive) sexual abuse and trauma, disassociation, PTSD and complex PDST, relationships, family dynamics, cancer, dementia, addictions and carer support. It is helpful to bring what may be troubling you, either from the past or present to the safety of a counselling relationship. Many people find they are then more confident to be able to make positive changes in their lives through counselling support. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation.

I am a counselling psychologist with a wide range of experience. I have worked with adults facing various mental health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, health-related difficulties, and relational issues. My experience comes from working within the NHS, charity organisations, university counselling services, and private practice. I believe each person is unique and I use a range of therapeutic approaches to meet your needs.  My aim is to work collaboratively with you and create a safe and confidential space for you to safely explore your lives and the different opportunities that are available to you.

There are many reasons for seeking support, whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, low self-esteem, fears, feeling overwhelmed or questioning the direction of your life – therapy offers a non-judgemental, safe space to work through the challenges of life. Therapy is not about advice or assumptions. It is about having a confidential space to explore why your life feels like it does and offers hope for change.

I am an experienced, BACP registered Integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, providing professional, confidential support. I offer counselling with warmth, non-judgment and compassion. You may seek counselling because of the impact of recent events, or past experiences which have had a lasting impact. You may be anxious, have low self-esteem, or are perhaps dealing with a change or loss and are finding it difficult to cope or know how to move forward. You may face challenges with relationships, mental health, parenthood or work. You may want to discuss sexuality, identity or purpose, or feel stuck in a particular area of life.

All of us, at some point in our lives, may experience challenges that could lead to anxiety and depression or ‘stuckness’. These feelings usually stem from not knowing how to communicate needs and emotions or process deeply stressful thoughts and experiences in a way that can bring relief. This is the time to reach out for therapy where you can learn (and unlearn) those behavioural patterns that stop you from becoming the best possible version of yourself. You can develop coping strategies that help you to become a happier and more fulfilled individual now and in the future.

Life sometimes requires us to change. The issue that brought you here needs space and attention. Your difficulties and aspirations will be explored. We will do this work together, courageously and sensitively. Your Psychotherapy sessions will focus on self-exploration and serve personal change. It's about getting unstuck and moving forward in our lives. Whether it's a close relationship, a work issue, a sense of meaninglessness, or concerns about your mental health, we will talk about what really matters to you. We will welcome new understanding and perspectives. We will welcome your greater self-awareness and personal development.
