Welcome
We all hold within us the potential to thrive. I aim to support you in achieving this so you can live a happier and more fulfilling life going forward, regardless of what you have faced in the past.
​
By connecting with our emotions, we can better understand, process, and heal from the challenges that we face in life. Too often we try to (or feel we should) do this alone. But this leaves us feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, and isolated.
In our sessions together, we will gently and compassionately explore your situation in a supportive environment, empowering you to make the changes that you want to make.
Corinne Richards
Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
​I am a UKCP accredited counsellor based in Norwich. I provide Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling for adults in central Norwich and online throughout the UK. I can offer support with feelings of anxiety, depression, bereavement & loss, relationships, stress, and trauma.
​
I have a special interest in supporting the wellbeing of people living with chronic health conditions such as Cancer, ME/CFS, Long Covid, MS etc. with particular experience of addressing the emotional impacts of cancer and cancer recovery.​
​​​​
​Therapeutic Philosophy
​
Counselling offers a space to be heard, reflect, and grow. Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling facilitates this by drawing on a number of traditional and contemporary theories to address your individual needs. I include humanistic, psychodynamic, behavioural, and embodied approaches as I believe each have something to offer.
​
This is an approach that is well-suited for individuals looking for mid to long-term support with depression, anxiety, and trauma as we can take the time to move at a pace that feels right for you, building a therapeutic relationship that is safe and trauma informed.
​
Believing in working to high ethical standards, along with maintaining accreditation with the UKCP, I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate and attend regular clinical supervision and training.​​​​

About Me
​
Coming from a background in domiciliary care, I trained at Matrix College of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BSc Hons) and have now held UKCP accreditation for a number of years. Alongside private practice I have also volunteered and worked for a cancer support charity that is close to my heart.
I was drawn to becoming a counsellor after experiencing first-hand how helpful counselling can be. learnt that I don’t have to face the challenges of life alone, and I believe you don’t have to either.
