Relationship Counselling & Psychotherapy in Richmond upon Thames

Vernon Stokoe

MSc, BA (Hons), PsyDip

Working with couples is at the centre of my practice, as I see the romantic relationships we form in life as being central to our emotional wellbeing, sense of connection, and overall experience of life.

Alongside relationship counselling, I also work with ambitious professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurial individuals navigating the pressures of fast-moving modern lives, questions around meaning and direction, spiritual crisis, and periods of emotional transition, including heartbreak and the ending of relationships.

My private practice is conveniently located in Richmond, South West London, just a short walk from Richmond Station. I offer flexible appointment times, including late evening and weekend sessions, making it easier for couples to attend therapy alongside work, family life, and other commitments.

Abount Vernon

Having completed my Master’s degree in Psychology in 2016, I went on to further develop my understanding of psychology through focusing on interpersonal relationship dynamics, meaning and value in relation to spiritual understanding, and matters of the heart and heartbreak.

My work also developed around therapy in relation to ambitious, creative, and entrepreneurial lives, particularly around the psychological balance required to sustain demanding and fast-moving ways of living.

Alongside my psychotherapy training, I studied hypnosis and hypnotherapy out of a desire to deepen my understanding of the psyche and human behaviour. I would describe my approach as largely person-centred, whilst leaning heavily into relational psychology, attachment theory, and the Jungian process of individuation.
