Taking the first steps to engage in therapy can be challenging. The most important factor is to choose the right therapist.
A therapist whom you can build a relationship with based on trust. You feel safe with and at ease in the sessions. Everything you say during the sessions is in confidence.
I am a member of, The British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. This means I work within their ethical framework.
I am non judgemental and I put you the client at the centre of our work together. I have a private practise and also work for two charities in the UK.
I am well qualified with a degree. I have counselled for Age Concern, Axa Health Care, Mindworks and Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service (NHS). This has enabled me to gain experience with a wide variety of clients.
I work in two modalities person centred and psychodynamic therapies. This enables us to explore the present and your past to understand why you feel or behave as you do.
I am happy to help just get in touch.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Tricia has been so supportive and understanding of all the changes and emotions I have been experiencing and is a fantastic help to what I’m experiencing and helping me understand myself
I have only been speaking to Tricia for a few weeks and feel like I'm getting somewhere with her help. I'm so glad I chose her to be my therapist very understanding and supportive
Excellent listener and very compassionate
Tricia is a wonderful therapist, she is thoughtful and supportive and really helped me work through some issues I’d previously struggled with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support.
I find working with Tricia really helpful. She has an ability to get me to open up even if I feel I want to close off about a topic. At no point do I feel stupid or worthless, and I come away from my sessions with a lot to think about but in a positive light.
Tricia is amazing!! She takes her time to understand your situation and present it back to you in a logical way, with no judgment. I feel better about the issues I has after discussing with her. I would highly recommend Tricia to anyone.
Thoughtful, caring and a good balance of listening and asking the correct questions to make me think
Tricia is a great therapist. She’s incredibly easy to talk to - a wonderful listener. She’ll take what I’m saying/exploring in the session and present it back to me in an understandable format. She’s very understanding and welcoming.
