Dea Richardson

Dea Richardson is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as her listed credential and works with people facing a range of difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions and challenges linked to relationships and family life. She also supports people recovering from narcissistic abuse and those managing ADHD or eating concerns.

Her background includes work with trauma, including PTSD and complex PTSD, and with people who have experienced adverse childhood experiences. Dea uses practical, conversational methods in sessions and treats the person as the expert in their own story. She aims to build a dependable working relationship that helps people feel heard and understood.

Her approach draws on several recognised therapy styles. Dea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take steps that match their values. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when emotion regulation and relationships are central concerns.

Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools that people can use day to day. Dea offers coaching-style guidance when helpful and works with matters such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and body image. Her style is warm, direct and collaborative, with emphasis on practical steps between sessions.

People who want a supportive but active counsellor often find this approach useful. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the service's booking tools.

Online approaches and how they translate to remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and supports taking small steps that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change mood and behaviour. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotions in relationships and improving how people communicate and respond to one another.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and what has worked before, and then suggest ways to combine methods that suit the person's needs. Sessions often adapt over time as priorities change and new skills are practised.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily around work and care commitments, cut out travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it simpler to use worksheets, homework tasks and visual aids during the session. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain which format will best meet each person's aims when arranging the first appointment.
