I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist (Msc, CTA with distinction) and Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (PG Dip Psych) EMDR practitioner and clinical supervisor
I work both long term and short term with individuals and couples.
People approach therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes it is just to get clear about a past experience or to change a habit. Often I have found that identifying blocks and emotional obstacles that stand in the way of a client living their full potential becomes the core of our work.
I offer a variety of techniques which can assist in removing the emotional and psychological obstacles in order to reach my clients' goals.
Autonomy stands as my overarching vision for each client's approach to their life. Your vision is unique and I support you in the aims you want to achieve so you can live your life your way and beyond limitation.
I offer an impartial ear and a collaborative space for you to find the clarity or resolve you may be seeking. I believe the answers we seek are within us. We just need to know how to connect with our truth no longer bound to pre-programming from past experiences.
The process of talking therapy and self understanding can be empowering.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sherry Richmond. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
As someone who hates therapy it’s strange because I’m actually excited to have my weekly calls. Not only is she incredible at recognising what I need but she is a friend. She listens and gives me constructive feedback that has really helped me progress.

I have been working with Sherry for a few weeks now and have had a great experience so far. She truly listens and makes you feel heard. She does not impose anything on the client, but rather acts as a wise guide who enables clients to get to know themselves on a deeper level.
I would definitely recommend Sherry.
