Welcome — I’m Christina Richards, Online & In-Person Counsellor in Maidstone

I’m an integrative counsellor based in Maidstone, Kent. I’m passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Over the years, I’ve seen how transformative it can be to have someone truly listen and walk alongside you. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone’s story matters, and that even small steps forward can create meaningful change.

My Qualifications & Approach

I hold a DipHE in Counselling (Level 5 Higher Diploma) and am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as well as the Association of Christians in Counselling (ACC), which means I work within their professional and ethical frameworks, including confidentiality, professional boundaries and ongoing development.

As an integrative counsellor, I draw on several therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), and creative methods. I tailor sessions to suit your unique needs. Whether you are navigating life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or relationship difficulties, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.

My Values

I believe counselling should help you understand yourself rather than leave you feeling as though there is something wrong with you. The ways we think, feel and respond often make more sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them.

My role is to work alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, recognise patterns and find ways forward that feel authentic to you.

If you’re considering counselling or want to learn more, I would love to hear from you.
