Margaret Olson-Kerrigan

I offer flexible hours for online counselling sessions which last 50 minutes.

Hi, I am Maggie, a fully qualified counsellor based in Richmond. My practice is rooted in a person-centred approach, which means I believe you hold the answers within yourself. My role is to create a nurturing, non-judgmental, and empathetic environment where you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges at your own pace. I integrate elements from other approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic perspectives, to offer a truly holistic and bespoke counselling experience.

I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, having completed my studies with a deep commitment to understanding the complexities of human experience. My training provided a robust foundation in various therapeutic modalities, allowing me to tailor my approach to your unique needs.

I am passionate about supporting individuals through difficult times, helping them develop coping strategies, gain self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, grief, relationship issues, or simply seeking a space for self-discovery, I am here to walk alongside you.

Olson Kerrigan Counselling: Taking the First Step

It can feel intimidating to seek support, particularly if you've often felt like you don't quite fit in or haven't always been fully understood. We know from experience how challenging it can be to ask for help. Whether you're ready to move forward or are still thinking it over, we'll respect your pace and the path you're on. When you feel ready, we welcome you to reach out and arrange a meeting.

During our initial session, we'll discuss your background and experiences, which will help us both determine how best to move forward. We will work at your pace and allow you room to grow. On your journey you will gain new perspectives and have a better understanding of your relationships and honouring your personal space.

This process will help you feel more attuned to your needs, feeling more confident, and ability to live the life you want.
