About Ayallah

Ayallah Richards-Mitchell helps people with stress, anxiety, concentration and focus difficulties linked to ADHD, relationships, grief, anger, self-esteem and depression. She uses conversation and practical techniques to address seasonal mood shifts and parenting concerns. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Her work combines clear listening with goal-focused sessions. She draws on client-centred methods to follow what the person brings, and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to try different ways of thinking and acting. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated patterns that affect current feelings.

Sessions are aimed at helping people manage symptoms and cope better day to day. Ayallah will discuss practical steps to reduce stress and improve concentration, and offer ways to approach relationship tensions and anger. She also works with grief and low mood, including seasonal affective disorder.

She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Assessment is used to identify immediate priorities and plan next steps together. Progress is reviewed regularly and the approach can be adjusted if something is not helpful.

People can expect appointments that focus on concrete tools alongside time to talk through thoughts and emotions. Ayallah uses her combined experience to offer supportive, evidence-informed counselling suited to common everyday challenges.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor follows what the client brings and offers reflections to help them make sense of their feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and tests practical changes to improve mood and coping. Psychodynamic therapy considers recurring patterns and early influences that may shape current reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ayallah will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and they will agree together which methods to try. This collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use visual sessions when helpful or opt for audio if that suits them better. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to support consistency of care and help clients apply techniques between sessions.
