About us
COVID-19: Contact us to discuss our free-of-charge online service being offered right now
Counselling at Richmond AID is here to assist people in the local community. We are a team of committed therapists who use a holistic approach to meet people where they are at.
If you are over 18 and struggling to find your way through an issue or an ongoing problem, we are here to help.
There is power in the spoken word and our therapists are dedicated to their clients. They offer a confidential space each week to talk things through. Our clients are supported as they tell their stories, share their issues, and redefine their goals.
Richmond AID is a special place. It is based on the charity’s culture of mutual respect, integrity and honest communication. Our clients report that through counselling here they have found: a space to talk, a feeling of being heard, support, tools for coping with difficult situations, an ability to look at their lives with a new perspective and a renewed preparedness to make positive choices moving forward.
Our service usually operates on a Wednesday evening, Thursday and Friday mornings. However, due to the current lockdown, we are able to offer sessions most days. We have the ability to refer you on to other additional support services if this is what you need.

Member organisations *
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
