About Ayallah
Ayallah Richards-Mitchell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and difficulties with concentration and focus. She also addresses relationship strain, parenting worries, grief, anger and the effects of trauma and abuse.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing different ways of responding, and setting small actions to try between meetings. Sessions are conversational and structured so people leave with concrete steps to try at home.
Ayallah combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred listening to help people clarify what matters to them. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect current feelings. Solution-focused techniques are used when people want short-term, goal-led work, such as coping strategies for Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Her practice suits people who prefer straightforward, skills-based support alongside reflective conversation. She explains ideas in simple language and helps people build routines that fit into daily life. The focus is on practical change rather than technical jargon.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients may be accepted; confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Ayallah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, simple tracking tasks and short activities to test between meetings. Client-Centred Therapy is used alongside CBT to ensure conversations stay focused on the person’s priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help clarify goals.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Ayallah will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest a way forward. This is collaborative - the client and counsellor agree on which methods to try and review progress over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. They can also work well when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Registered or accredited professionals offer these kinds of flexible arrangements, and the therapist will advise which format suits the person’s needs.
