About Ayallah

Ayallah Richards-Mitchell is a counsellor who uses a practical, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with adults on issues such as low self-esteem, grief, anger and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, attention and concentration struggles linked to ADHD, and seasonal changes in mood like SAD.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on the individual's experience.

Background and approach

That means the conversation is guided by the client’s needs and pace, and the work adapts as progress is made. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot unhelpful thought patterns and to develop different ways of coping. Her approach includes psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and solution-focused techniques to build practical steps toward change.

Sessions are tailored so the plan fits each person's concerns and goals. Ayallah aims for clear, simple steps rather than jargon-filled explanations. With three years of professional experience and BACP registration, she practices from the United Kingdom and offers support in English.

International clients are accepted and she offers a range of online session types to suit different needs. Ayallah presents therapy as a collaborative process. She emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion, and helps people take steady steps toward a more manageable everyday life.

Ways of working Ayallah names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Ayallah commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and moves at their pace, helping people feel heard and steering the conversation by their priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical ways to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide what methods suit your goals and preferences. Sessions begin with simple planning and adjust over time so the work stays relevant to your needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily life while keeping the focus on steady, manageable progress.
