About Anna Richardson

Anna Richardson is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and she practices in line with that professional body's ethical framework. She holds a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling, which informs the core of her therapeutic work and guides how she explores clients' inner lives.

Using a psychodynamic lens, Anna offers a calm, non-judgmental environment where individuals can examine how past experiences, unconscious thoughts, and long-standing patterns shape current feelings and behaviors. She works collaboratively to bring emotional conflicts and unresolved issues into awareness so they can be understood and addressed.

Her practice focuses on supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, and a sense of disconnection by tracing the roots of those difficulties and helping clients develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. In addition to her private practice, Anna contributes to local mental health efforts through charity work with Devon Mind and previously supported HCC, London's oldest mental health charity.

She has also worked with people experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder in private sector care homes, bringing psychodynamic expertise to complex presentations and helping clients process difficult experiences.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether connecting with a therapist remotely can make a meaningful difference. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and navigating life transitions - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main benefits is flexibility. Individuals can choose the format that works best for them - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy life and to continue care during periods of change.

Therapists offering remote sessions are licensed professionals, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they feel a change would be helpful. Remote work can support consistent access to therapeutic help while preserving many of the same approaches and goals as face-to-face therapy.
