A Richmond therapy space is aiming to offer more than a trusted and reliable service, with its founder also focused on making it an enjoyable place for therapists and their clients.

The Greenhouse Therapy Rooms located at 36 Paradise Road provides rooms for psychotherapists, counsellors and other professionals.

The Richmond site is designed around a calm, welcoming environment, with rooms inspired by nature and featuring woodland plants, natural colours and comfortable furnishings.

The rooms are also soundproofed and have fresh-air ventilation.

Patsy Richardson, Director of The Greenhouse Therapy Rooms, said trust, reliability and ensuring people feel confident in the service are important, alongside creating a welcoming environment.

She said the space has been designed specifically with its users in mind, offering somewhere that people can enjoy as well as feel comfortable in.

"At The Greenhouse Therapy Rooms not only are we are serious about making sure that all our therapists are vetted and verified so that they can be trusted, we also make sure that the space is welcoming and the whole visit here is enjoyable," Richardson said.

"It's just such a lovely space to be in that's been made for them."

The Greenhouse Therapy Rooms has also received a five-star rating on Google, with reviews highlighting the design of the rooms, the welcoming atmosphere and the support provided to therapists.

One client said: "Lovely rooms in a brilliant location. The Greenhouse offers a range of spaces which have been created specifically for psychotherapy use.

"Both myself and my clients love the space. And as a therapist I appreciate the support and community offered by The Greenhouse organization. Highly recommend."

A therapist who practices at Paradise Road said: "I have been using The Greenhouse Therapy Rooms in Richmond to work with clients for several months now.

"Clients have commented how the nature-inspired space feels calming and safe.

"The environment is also a nurturing embrace for me as a therapist and I love The Greenhouse's ethos of caring for therapists who give so much of themselves to their clients (and learn so much from them, too, of course).

"Patsy and Nora couldn't do enough to help therapists grow their practice and networks - thank you."

All members are screened and supported by professional qualifications or memberships of relevant professional associations.
