Jonna Richardson

Currently accepting clients.  Available to meet online or face to face.

Life is difficult. From time to time it can feel unbearable and overwhelming — but if you're reading this, you probably know that already.

I am a relational integrative therapist available to meet face to face and online, to explore whatever is troubling you at a pace that feels right for you.

How I work

As an integrative therapist, I don't follow a single fixed model but draw on a range of therapeutic approaches — tailoring the work to the individual in front of me rather than fitting the person to the method.  The relational dimension is central to everything I do:  the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is not just a backdrop to the work —  it is the work.

I am trauma-informed, addiction-informed and ADHD-informed in my practice — and not only by training. As a person in long-term recovery,  my understanding of addiction is informed by lived experience as well as 12 Step philosophy.   I was also diagnosed with ADHD in mid-life — which brought its own clarity about how differently some of us experience the world and ourselves. 

During the '80s & '90's, I worked in the music industry and that background gives me a genuine understanding of the stressors and demands that come with working in entertainment. These things are part of who I am and they shape how I sit with people who may be navigating similar terrain.

Confidentiality & ethics

Everything discussed in our sessions is confidential. I adhere to the BACP code of ethics and work within their professional framework — which means you can trust that your privacy and wellbeing are held with the utmost care.

Getting started

For the work to be effective it needs to feel like a good fit. That's why I offer an initial consultation — a chance for you to share what's troubling you and to decide, without pressure, whether you'd like to continue. If you do, my commitment is to be caring, curious and compassionate.
