Working with women in Twickenham and Richmond

We offer Psychological therapy for women in Richmond, Twickenham and surrounding areas who are struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma or periods of life transition. Talking Women was set up to offer a service specifically for women dealing with the kids of issues we have seen both personally and in our clinical work.

We understand emotional difficulties in the context of your life experiences, relationships, and the wider pressures you may be navigating. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we take time to explore how your current difficulties have developed, and what they might be connected to. This often includes thinking about identity, expectations, and patterns that have built over time and giving you the tools and strategies to break out of these patterns. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based psychological therapies, while remaining flexible and responsive to you as an individual.

How we work

Through our experience, we have seen how often women's distress is shaped not just by what is happening in the present, but by a combination of life experiences, relationships and wider expectations. We work with difficulties such as fertility issues, perinatal and postnatal anxiety, trauma, menopause and other areas of women's health as well as challenges around identity, work and relationships. Women come to see us for many different reasons, including:

Anxiety, overthinking and constant worry
OCD and compulsive behaviours
Eating Disorders
Burnout and feeling overwhelmed
Periods of transition, including pregnancy and motherhood or changes in identity
Relationship difficulties
The impact of past experiences of trauma
Feeling stuck, lost or disconnected

We aim to create a supportive, non-judgmental and empowering space where you can share your experiences and begin to make sense of what is going on. We have experience in a range of evidence-based psychological approaches, but the most important part of our work is the relationship we build with each client. We work collaboratively to find an approach that feels right for you and supports you in moving towards what matters to you,

We offer in-person therapy in Twickenham and Richmond and online therapy for women across London and the UK.
