Be True to You Counselling
Offering Online and Telephone Counselling for Convenience, Flexibility and Accessibilty
People come to counselling for many reasons — anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, confusion, stress, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, or simply a sense that something doesn’t feel quite right. Whatever brings you, we’ll work together to build understanding, resilience, and self-compassion, helping you move toward a more balanced and authentic way of living.
​
We may focus on what is happening in the present, while gently exploring past experiences where this feels relevant to your current wellbeing, at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
​
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship. I provide a caring, confidential, non -judgemental, safe and secure space for you to bring anything you want to explore.
​
You don’t need to have the right words or a clear plan — just a willingness to begin.
Get to Know Me
My name is Ria and I am a registered member of the professional body 'The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy'.
​
I’m an integrative counsellor, which means I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. We’re all shaped by different experiences, relationships, and ways of seeing the world, so my work is tailored to you — your needs, your pace, and your goals.
​
This allows us to explore both what’s happening for you right now and, where helpful, how past experiences may be influencing the present.
Above all, I offer a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can speak openly and feel genuinely heard.
​
I have been working in a variety of settings since 2017 providing therapy to young adults and adults. This has included local charities, NHS, residential homes and college.​
I work with warmth, care, and respect, supporting greater self-awareness, emotional understanding, and healthier ways of relating. It will be a privilege to be a part of your life on a short or longer term basis.
​
About Therapy
The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) definition of counselling is that "Counselling occurs when a counsellor sees a client in a private and confidential setting to explore a difficulty the client is having, distress they may be experiencing or perhaps their dissatisfaction with life or loss of a sense of direction and purpose. It is always at the request of the client and no one can properly be 'sent' for counselling."
​
I work person-centred with you, which puts you at the centre of the work the whole time, with the focus being on the quality of our client and counsellor relationship.
