Welcome
Life doesn't always go as we expect. At times, we can feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions, uncertain about the future or struggling to make sense of experiences that have changed our lives. Perhaps you're finding it hard to cope, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or simply need somewhere to put all the thoughts and feelings you've been carrying.
We can sometimes feel that we should manage these things on our own, but having space to talk and feel understood can make a real difference. Counselling gives you the opportunity to pause, reflect and explore what's happening for you, without judgement or expectation.
In our sessions together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you. With compassion and curiosity, we'll gently explore your experiences, helping you develop greater self-understanding, self-acceptance, and a kinder relationship with yourself. You don't need to have everything figured out; we can start where you are.
Corinne Richards
Psychotherapeutic Counsellor
I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor. I provide integrative counselling for adults with online sessions available throughout the UK and in-person appointments in central Norwich. I can offer support with anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, life changes, burnout, stress and trauma.
I have a particular interest in supporting people affected by chronic health conditions. Living with a long-term health condition can impact far more than your physical health. You may be grieving the life you expected, struggling with uncertainty, or adjusting to changes in your identity, work, relationships or independence. I also welcome people who are caring for or supporting someone living with a chronic health condition. The emotional impact on family members and carers can sometimes be overlooked, and you may need space to explore your own feelings, worries and experiences.
I am also able to support people experiencing pregnancy loss and fertility-related loss, including the Grief and emotional challenges associated with infertility, having recently completed CPD training with the Foundation for Infant Loss.
Therapeutic Philosophy
Counselling offers a space to talk freely, 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. Our work together will be grounded in compassion and self-acceptance, helping you to develop a kinder relationship with yourself and your experiences.
Believing in working to high ethical standards, along with maintaining accreditation with the UKCP, I also hold an enhanced DBS certificate, I am credentialed by Mind, and I attend regular clinical supervision and ongoing training.
About Me
Coming from a background in domiciliary care, I trained at Matrix College of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BSc Hons). Alongside private practice I have also volunteered for a cancer support charity that is close to my heart for a number of years.
I was drawn to becoming a counsellor after experiencing first-hand how helpful counselling can be. I learnt that I don’t have to face the challenges of life alone, and I believe you don’t have to either.
