Rik Powell

I have spaces open during the day on Tuesdays and Fridays, with limited availability Monday afternoons.

Therapy is a journey of getting to know yourself better; the positive parts, the challenging parts, and the parts you may wish to let go of.

However, the journey can be lonely and we often find ourselves walking into the same dark alleyways time and time again. That’s where a strong therapeutic partnership can help us understand why we take the same routes, explore what other options we have, and what decisions we want to make next.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counselor trained at the Metanoia Institute in London. I work relationally and developmentally; building a strong therapeutic relationship and exploring together what affects you in your present and where it may have started in your past. I aim to acknowledge the impact of past decisions and events, whilst working on ways to let them go if they are no longer helpful.

I believe the therapeutic space and relationship are invaluable to understanding ourselves better, and I offer an open, non-judgmental space for you to explore issues affecting your life.

I offer an initial, free 15 minute phone call to discuss availability, what has brought you to counselling and a brief overview of the way I work. If you are happy to proceed, we will arrange our first session.

In our initial sessions, I aim to build a strong relationship with you, listening to what has brought you to therapy and areas you would like to focus on. We will agree to a time and speed of approach that works for you to get the most from your therapy sessions.
