About Ayallah
Ayallah Richards-Mitchell is a counsellor who combines practical talking therapy with warmth and respect. She works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and helps them find clearer ways to cope. Her style is straightforward and kind, aimed at making the first steps feel less daunting.
With three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, Ayallah adapts sessions to each person's needs. She uses approaches such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help with thoughts, moods and unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Solution-focused conversations are used to identify small, realistic changes that people can try between meetings. Ayallah also brings psychodynamic perspectives when it helps to understand patterns rooted in the past. This can be useful for people working through trauma, grief or recurring relationship difficulties.
She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions and choices. She regularly supports people dealing with parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and the impact of seasonal changes such as Seasonal Affective Disorder. She also offers help with concentration, memory and focus concerns often related to ADHD.
Sessions are delivered in English and accept international clients. Her approach is collaborative: Ayallah tailors the conversation and the plan to each person's priorities. She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is working.
Getting help can feel hard, and she aims to make the process clear and manageable.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects the client's concerns and helps them lead the pace and content of sessions, which is useful for building trust and setting personal goals.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It suits people who want structured ways to manage anxiety, stress, low mood or concentration difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try approaches that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process makes it easier to test small changes and see what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more visual connection helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing support, brief updates and when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations.
