Richmond Aid’s Counselling Service is open again and is accepting self-referrals. It offers a calm, confidential space for you to talk though your emotional needs and difficulties.
Who is it for?
The team welcome anyone over the age of 18 years, including those with long term health conditions, disabilities, complex mental health needs and caring responsibilities. It is a low-cost counselling service, with further concessions for those living within Richmond borough.
How to participate
Richmond AID’s Counselling Service is a self-referral only service. This is to ensure your utmost confidentiality. You can access the ‘Client Referral Form’ here: https://richmondaid.org.uk/content/uploads/2025/05/Counselling-Client-Referral-Form-May-2025.docx

What to expect
After you have completed and returned your referral form, the counselling team will review this to check whether it might be a suitable service for you. If so, it will arrange an initial assessment, which carries a fee of £35 for all applicants. If talking therapies are appropriate, the applicant will be offered a number of sessions.
