Risikat Donkor

My 1:1 sessions are relaxed, supportive and personalised to you. We begin with a brief check-in to explore how you are feeling and what you would like to get from the session.

We then work practically with techniques such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, grounding, relaxation, gentle movement, body awareness and emotional regulation. You’ll have the opportunity to practise these during the session and discover which approaches work best for you.

Rather than simply giving you techniques to remember, I help you develop a greater awareness of how stress and overwhelm show up for you, so you can begin to recognise what you need and respond to yourself differently.

Sessions are collaborative and non-judgemental. You don’t need any previous experience of mindfulness or meditation, and there is no expectation that you need to do it perfectly. Everything is adapted to your individual needs, comfort and circumstances.

My aim is for you to leave feeling calmer, more grounded and clearer about your next steps, with practical tools you can use beyond the session.

I am a BACP-registered counsellor and psychodynamic therapist with experience coaching adults and young people in private practice, university settings, in the community and online. My therapeutic experience informs a warm, compassionate approach to stress reduction and emotional wellbeing.

Sessions may be particularly helpful if you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, mentally busy or emotionally stretched, or if you want to develop greater calm, balance and self-awareness in everyday life.
