COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY IN RICHMOND AND TWICKENHAM
Welcome to J.S.G. Counselling
Finding Strength Together
Your Journey, My Expertise
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s also a powerful one. The focus is on providing a supportive and compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, feel truly heard, and begin working towards the changes you want in your life.
Alongside my experience with Cruse Bereavement Care, where I supported people through the pain of grief, and Richmond Mind, where I worked with adults facing mental health challenges, I am also trained in couples therapy and relationship counselling with Relate. This means I can support not only individuals but also couples who may be struggling with communication, conflict, or changes in their relationship.
I’ve also worked extensively with young people aged 11–25, helping them navigate the challenges of adolescence, relationships, and early adulthood. Whatever brings you to therapy, whether it’s personal difficulties, relationship struggles, or a sense of being stuck, we can work together at your pace, in a way that feels safe and respectful of your needs.
Counselling and Psychotherapy in Richmond and Twickenham
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for clarity, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work on building the tools, resilience, and self-awareness you need to move forward confidently and create meaningful change in your life.
Find support to face specific challenges like low self-esteem, bereavement, anxiety, or depression, wanting to explore deeper emotional issues, or simply looking for personal growth.
I also work with relational difficulties, whether that’s struggles in a couple relationship, family tensions, or challenges in communication and connection with others. Whatever your situation, we’ll work together to uncover insights, strengthen your ability to navigate difficulties, and create the positive changes you’re looking for.

Sessions and What I Offer
We start with a free initial 20 minute appointment.
Finding the right therapist is essential for a meaningful counselling journey. I offer a free 20-minute consultation, where you can ask questions, share your goals and concerns, and explore whether our therapeutic relationship feels supportive and aligned. If it feels right to move forward, we can then discuss the counselling agreement, fees, and arrange your first session with care and attention to your comfort.
Fees
Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly. Fees for individual therapy range from £70 - £85 per session, depending on whether sessions are by telephone, online or in person. Couples therapy ranges from £100 - £130 per 50 minute session.
Payment can be made by bank transfer and cash.
