Counselling in Belfast

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC). Having worked with children and adult mental health sectors using models of psychological assessment, formulation, and treatment, knowledgeable of our community and voluntary sector. I am privileged to have experience with people from a broad range of cultural backgrounds and levels of complexity. And help them to overcome the language and the culture barriers by speaking the same language with them as I m fluent in Arabic, English, French and Persian.

I am a fully registered Clinical Psychologist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I have extensive experience in working in Clinical Psychology services in both the health service and within private practice. I work with young people and adults who present with a range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, stress and burnout, OCD, emotional regulation difficulties and interpersonal difficulties. I have a specialist interest in working with people who have experienced trauma either in their early life or a more recent traumatic experience.

A BSc Hons in Psychology, FdSc Integrative Therapist and trained in Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic approaches to counselling. My joy is in the collaborative and healing process of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in a holistic approach with the core value and understanding that you as a person are the expert in your own life. I believe that taking the decision to engage in therapy is a difficult and confusing one and my aim is to create a welcoming and encouraging environment for growth and change.

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist and I work collaboratively with my clients, helping them to understand their difficulties, make sense of their experiences, develop ways of coping and live with more ease. My work is informed by a range of psychological theories and models, choosing the most helpful approach to suit the individual e.g. Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Family Therapy/Systemic informed work.

The most important thing to me is that clients feel heard, respected and safe to discuss the issues that have brought them to counselling. I can offer clients both short or long term counselling. I qualified in 2000 and have been working as a counsellor on a continual basis since then. I also offer clinical Supervision for both counsellors and other care providers. I offer both one to one and couples therapy (Relate NI Trained) . I have my own private practice and premises that are fully accessible including free parking. I am available 9.30 - 7pm Monday - Thursday

A BA Hons, FdSc Integrative Therapist, trained in Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic approaches to counselling. My love of integrative therapy and mindfulness meditation comes from a desire for authenticity. To talk about problems and pain, but to also deepen experiences of joy and contentment. I believe a holistic approach to mental health and well-being can enable people help themselves and connect to oneself through heightened mind, body and spirit awareness.

Mental Health & Wellbeing, Life Coaching, CBT Counselling & Mindset Coaching. Are you anxious, stressed, worried, stuck or uncertain about your future? I will help you to get your life back on track and get to where you want to be with our unique way of working & talking with you and giving you practical help by way of integrating challenges into your days & week to allow you to try different approaches to doing things in your life. Helping you to change your perspective and perceptions (Mindset) to take on your issues, concerns or difficulties more on your own terms to achieve better success outcomes in your life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you feel like you are riding an emotional rollercoaster? Life has its ups and downs and sometimes we just need a little helping hand to guide us through. I can offer an environment where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours around your life issues past and present.

I am a qualified registered counsellor working in the Belfast and Bangor areas. I provide a comfortable and supportive safe space for you to explore any unresolved issues past or present. Whilst we cannot change difficult events from the past, we can work together to better understand and work through the challenges that you are experiencing in your life. Together we can develop an awareness of patterns of negative behavior and perceptions that may be leaving you feeling anxious or depressed. The symptoms of your distress can show in a physical and psychological way.

I have 21 years experience in counselling a variety of clients, in a wide range of issues. The CORE conditions of Empathy, Respect and Genuineness, remain at the very centre and basis of my work with all clients, to enhance safety and trust. I offer clients both short or long term counselling, depending on their requirements and issues presented. In my experience clients bring a varied host of issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, abuse, relationship concerns, pregnancy related issues prenatal and post partum, life stage, bereavement, grief and loss, confidence and self esteem, work related issues, including work/life balance.

After my first assessment I will work closely with my client to decide on the best form of therapy for them and decide the way forward together. I have had a passion for helping others my entire life and began counselling in 2010. My own past has only served to deepen my desire to help as I can deeply empathise with those who need it most. I believe that no one should suffer in silence and I work hard to try and guide clients to their own answers. When someone feels lost they then become confused and this is a very lonely place to be. I base my work on clearing the mist and helping clients find the answers.

I provide a safe non-judgemental space to work together through whatever issues my clients bring. I work as an integrative practitioner, thus providing a varied approach to best meet my clients needs.

Hello, my name is Roberta Richmond I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor with years of experience as a therapist, and managing one of Belfast's largest counselling charities. I am committed to providing counselling and coaching in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. Many of us have times in our lives when things seem too much, and we feel overwhelmed, with difficulty coping. If you’re reading this, you may be at that point yourself, and thinking about having some counselling. You may have hit a difficult patch in your relationship and are looking for someone to help you and your partner sort things out,

Are you feeling sad, angry or overwhelmed by circumstances in your life or in your personal relationships? Everyone experiences difficult and painful times, but there is no need to go through these alone. If you are in a challenging situation or simply feel that life has lost its meaning, then counselling can support you make the changes needed for a happier, more purposeful and satisfying life. You can, with the right help, move past obstacles to create a better future.

Do you feel overwhelmed, weighed down by feelings of low mood and anxiety? Come talk to me, and together we will work on strategies and tools that will allow you to address the root causes of the difficulties you are experiencing. My favorite thing about counselling is having the privilege to go along with a client on their journey and see them grow and develop as the weeks go on, witness them making the changes they need in order to improve what initially brought them to counselling.

You may be struggling with anxiety that has arisen out of the uncertain situation we find ourselves in right now or you may be facing an issue that has affected you for a long time and you've not been able to talk to anyone about it. You may feel that others do not understand or you feel like a burden to family and friends. You want to be able to explore your thoughts and feelings in a space which feels safe, non-judgmental and reflective so you can move forward with your life and make lasting change. I'm here to help.
