Counselling in W3
In my private practice or as a school counsellor, I support my clients to overcome challenges and hardships, many of which may present as anxiety, stress, anger, low self worth, procrastination, difficulties communicating with others, lack of self awareness which can lead to unwanted behaviour or conflict as a result of difficult circumstances. I work with my clients to help them make sense of their challenges and foster acceptance within. I provide an empathic and non-judgmental space in which we will work together towards your mental wellbeing and peace of mind. I offer a mindful approach to counselling tailored to each situation.

Hello, with over 11 years of working as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist I am able to offer specialist treatment to children, adolescents and adults who may be struggling with their day to day activities as a result of feeling low, anxious or stressed. Relationships, family dynamics, work, school, education, intrusive thoughts, worries, life events, fears are just a few of the things that may lead us to feel this way and that I can help you with. Together we will establish what it is that you would like from therapy and how I can help you reach your goal.

I’m Richy, a BACP-registered counsellor working one-to-one online with adults and trainees. I can support those experiencing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, addiction, bereavement, trauma and attachment-related problems. I have had extensive experience in counselling the general public in organisations providing low-cost counselling services, in a psychiatric hospital setting and substance misuse clients, in addition to other transferable experience gained from a lengthy career in supporting people in other roles. I can provide therapy on either a short or long-term basis, depending on my client's needs.

Hi! I’m a neurodivergent (AuDHD) therapist and ADHD coach, working with late-identifying adults. If you have spent a lifetime masking, people pleasing, burning out – now finally realising your struggles are explained by autism, ADHD (or both). Well, you’re in the right place. My clients are often badly burnt out, stuck in jobs they hate, relationships that make them unwell, and need time to figure out the life they want. And I get it, because I’ve been there. I offer therapy and coaching specifically related to these neurodivergent challenges because other therapists don’t always “get it”.

Prior to working as a therapist and coach, I was a partner in a leading family law firm in the City, practising as a family lawyer for over 12 years. I therefore bring to my work first-hand knowledge of the challenges and stresses one can face in the workplace, with particular insight into the struggle to balance all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional, and of building and maintaining healthy relationships. I have considerable experience in working with people who are having relationship or family issues or are going through divorce or separation. I also coach clients through career and life transitions.

Perfectionism, Anxiety & Work Stress: Therapy for High-Achievers.
You might be the person everyone relies on. You work hard, get things done and rarely let people see how much you're struggling. From the outside, you may look capable, successful and completely in control. Inside, you may feel exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed or like you're constantly falling short.
Perhaps you can't switch off from work. You replay conversations, overthink decisions or worry about making mistakes. You set yourself incredibly high standards, feel guilty when you're resting, struggle to say no or find yourself constantly trying to do more.

When things are very difficult it can feel impossible to find a way through it all. Maybe you're facing a mountain of problems that are overwhelming you; or perhaps you are in despair and don't really know why you feel so low. If this is what you are going through, or if you feeling anxious, depressed or you need someone to talk to about the loss of an important relationship, I can help. I have helped with men's issues, life transitions like chronic illness, addictions, and problematic attachments. I am experienced in LGBTQ+ cultures, surviving workplace discrimination and managing the aftermath of a difficult upbringing.

You may struggle with self-worth, anxiety, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or a quiet sense that something is “wrong” — even when life looks fine on the outside. You might seem capable and high-functioning, yet privately feel disconnected, exhausted, or unsure of who you really are.
Often these patterns began early, in subtle experiences of feeling unseen, unsafe, or emotionally alone. We adapt to cope, and those adaptations can shape our relationships, self-talk, and a nervous system that rarely feels fully at ease. I offer a warm, compassionate space to explore this gently and reconnect with yourself from the inside out.
