Dr Stella Richardson

Chartered Psychologist

“An experienced, compassionate psychologist. Offers online therapy to adults. Expertise in treating issues such as PTSD, anxiety, trauma, eating distress.”

About Me

I am a Chartered Psychologist practicing in Clifton Moor, England. I provide psychological and diagnostic assessments and individual therapy for abuse, anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders and OCD.

Approach

Experienced and compassionate practice informs how I run sessions—gentle but purposeful, with assessment and therapy paced around what feels manageable. Working from York and online in English, I hold focused individual meetings that blend evidence-based techniques with careful listening, and we track progress between sessions using agreed tasks or reflections. For trauma, eating distress or OCD this often means stabilising distress first, then building skills and understanding at a steady, collaborative pace. People seeking thoughtful, pragmatic support tend to find this way of working helpful.
