Ms Rita Edah

Counselor

I help people who are distressed, frustrated or feel stuck to gain clarity and overcome barriers by creating pathways to facilitate freedom of choice...

About Me

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Ilford, Essex, UK. I help you with abuse, anxiety, grief, and mood disorders. I offer counselling, coaching and online therapy.

Approach

Do you suffer with anxiety, depression, guilt or shame?

Do you feel isolated because of a breakdown in family relationships, separation or divorce, betrayal or estrangement?

Are you suffering from post traumatic stress?

Perhaps major life changes have left you feeling lost, stuck, confused, distressed or ashamed?

I can work flexibly with you to work through the mental/emotional blocks arising from your difficult life experiences that may be keeping you stuck or confused.

I also work with couples or adult family members whose relationship is in crisis or those wanting to enhance the quality of their relationship.

Additionally, I am a counselling supervisor and work with colleagues to facilitate their professional and personal growth and development.
