Chiara Di Rienzo

I offer a warm, collaborative space where you can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what you've been carrying. I'm a BACP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist (MBACP) and ICF ACC-accredited coach, working with adults online and via walk-and-talk therapy in Richmond Park. Alongside private practice, I also work in an NHS GP setting. You don't need to be in crisis to begin—just ready for a steadier way forward.
