Mrs Niki Costas Tanto

Psychotherapist (Registered)

“I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist in central London and Richmond Upon Thames.”

About Me

I am a registered psychotherapist and accredited counsellor based in Richmond, Greater London. I work with adults affected by abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, cross-cultural stress, and grief. I offer divorce counselling and individual psychotherapy in a confidential, practical setting.

Approach

Working across central and Richmond areas of London, I create a steady, practical space where we map what matters most to you. Sessions are quietly focused and paced to your tolerance: we track patterns, name emotions and safety needs, and I offer gentle challenges alongside practical steps to try between meetings. For people carrying grief, cross‑cultural strains, abuse or chronic anxiety, the work often moves from feeling overwhelmed to clearer choices and calmer moments day to day. If you want collaborative, grounded therapy, this way of working may suit you.
