About Dea
Dea Richardson is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a straightforward, respectful style and focuses on practical help for people dealing with hard problems. Dea works with issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood difficulties, addictions and relationship strain, and she also supports people facing grief, career pressure and major life changes.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions often look at unhelpful patterns and build everyday skills for managing emotions and stress. Dea aims to make therapy a space where people can name what is hardest and try small, manageable changes.
Her background includes work with trauma, complex trauma and those recovering from abusive relationships. She also offers support around eating concerns, ADHD, attachment and family-related stresses including adoption, foster care and blended family issues. Dea helps people worried about body image, codependency, control or commitment problems and those coping with loss or separation.
In sessions she listens closely and works in a collaborative way. Conversations move between understanding what has happened and planning practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Her practical focus includes coping tools, clearer communication and exploring options for life or work changes.
People can expect plain language, focused goals and a steady, non-judgemental approach to getting through difficult moments.
Using common therapy approaches in online work
Dea draws on methods that focus on values, thinking patterns and emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful reactions. It can help with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with change. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating intense emotions and improving how someone copes in crises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is shaped by problems presented, what has helped before and what the client wants to change.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Many people value remote sessions because they can fit meetings into a working day, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others choose sessions to allow a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera. Discussing how you want to work is a normal early step with a counsellor.
