I am very grateful to have found Blue Horizon Counselling. Dr Richard and Sam have been amazing. I highly reccommend Dr Yuliya Richard's service, she has helped me gain perspective during challenging times and has helped me process my emotions and understand myself a lot better. She is very supportive, understanding, patient, knowledgeable and professional. I would not have the insight into my life today without her help.

It can feel like an insurmountable challenge to find a practical, level-headed, and kind psychologist in a big city like Sydney. I was very fortunate to find Dr Yuliya Richards and her professional forebearance at a time of great distress in my life. I would commend her services to anyone looking for advice and help.

I’ve been seeing Dr Richards for the past three years her professionalism and depth of knowledge base has been astounding.
Yuliya, never comes across condescending and she has given practical advise that has been realistic, as well as setting small goals for me. I have loved the humor as well. I would fully recommend her to anyone!

I couldn't speak highly enough about my experiences with Blue Horizon. Yuliya and Sam are both fantastic. Yuliya has a way of making you look at your life from a different perspective. She provides you with the tools to create actionable plans without pushing or pressuring you. She also shares a lot of great resources for you to pursue between sessions.
I am not one who easily opens up but Yuliya creates a very safe and comfortable space and I now genuinely look forward to my session. I am extremely grateful for the impact she has already had on my life.
I also want to give a shout out to Sam

I am so grateful that I found Yuliya. She was recommended to me as someone who could really help me when I was at my lowest. I didn't have any expectations going in, but in just a few short months I feel ready to face and embrace the future, without looking back with shame on the past. Yuliya has provided me with practical, empathetic, evidence based insights that help me make sense of where I have been and where I am going, brighter and more certain of what is right for me and my family. Thank you :)

Right from the initial phone call, Blue Horizon Counselling has been a really great experience. I entered broken, overwhelmed and not coping, and was met with warmth and understanding. Dr Yuliya Richard helped me unravel some old patterns that had been blocking my ability to see myself clearly. In a very natural and organic way the sessions enabled me to understand and gently unpack some of my behaviours and create new ones. The results after just 6 sessions is amazing. I'm a far better version of myself and am able to cope with situations that used to trip me up. Such a wonderful experience, I

I have been a client of Blue Horizon Counseling since November 2014.
In this time I have really benefited from the vast experience of Yuliya Richard.
She has been a constant source of support and understanding, has given me constructive advice and guidance and I have really benefited a lot from our weekly catchup's and chats.
Yuliya is knowledgeable, patient, objective, experienced and most of all kind and caring. I look forward to our sessions as I know that she is on my side and is always supportive of my journey for the pursuit of happiness and balance.
She has been a key person urging me

Blue Horizon Counselling’s Yuliya Richard has already been worth every dollar and I’ve only so far attended six sessions.
Having begrudgingly seen other psychologists in the past I had received little to no help, which left me skeptical about seeing another.
Yuliya completely shifted my perspective on psychologists. She is the first person to actually help me feel like I can take control of my life and have the initiative to do things.
She has helped me alleviate years of accumulated anxieties and work towards my life goals at a pace that suits me.
She offers practical solutions to scenarios

I can highly recommend Yuliya Richard. Most psychologists I've dealt with just mirror back at me what I've already told them, and give me nothing new to think about. Yuliya is different.
Yuliya has a very positive, strengths-based, solutions-focused approach. She listens carefully and respectfully, and affirms the good things you are already doing. Yuliya has lots of good ideas, and is very willing to hear why you don't think a particular strategy would work. If you don't like a particular suggestion, or you tried it already and it didn't work, she just moves straight on to the next idea.
