About Ayallah

Ayallah Richards-Mitchell is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, low mood and anger, and she also supports people dealing with relationship issues, grief, parenting concerns and attention difficulties such as ADHD.

She draws on a few established ways of working to guide conversations. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what is troubling the person now. That can mean looking at patterns of thinking, how past experiences influence present reactions, or practical steps to change day-to-day habits.

Ayallah often uses client-centred skills to listen and reflect what is most important to each person. Cognitive behavioural ideas may be introduced to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Psychodynamic thinking can help make sense of repeated emotional reactions, including anger that keeps returning.

Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises and short-term planning where relevant. The work tends to focus on improving day-to-day coping, reducing repeated outbursts of frustration, and rebuilding confidence after distressing events. Seasonal Affective Disorder is also noted as an area she addresses.

Ayallah offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as session format and fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach aim to let the client lead the conversation while the counsellor offers feedback and clarification to help people understand their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying brief experiments between meetings, and building practical skills to manage stress, anger and low mood.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experience that influence current reactions. Online work with this emphasis often explores recurring feelings and relationship patterns to help reduce repeated anger responses.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and may combine methods to fit what the client wants to work on. That collaborative choice helps shape whether sessions are more reflective, skill-based or problem-solving focused.

Session logistics and formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep momentum while they work on managing anger and related concerns.
