I’m Richard, a qualified Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

My Approach

My practice is built on the belief that a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship is the foundation of healing. I aim to create a space that is not only professional and grounded but also warm, compassionate, and welcoming. I see you as a whole person with a unique story and strengths shaped by your journey. Together, we’ll explore how you can find balance and learn that it’s possible to be okay, even when it feels like you’re not.

My Focus Areas

I am deeply committed to supporting clients through life’s most difficult chapters. I have dedicated time to focused professional development in the areas of grief, loss, and trauma, and I am particularly passionate about working with men, providing a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported as you navigate the complexities of modern life, relationships, and personal growth.

I empower you through self-discovery, providing the tools to navigate your thoughts and feelings during significant life challenges, including:

• Grief & Loss, drawing on specific training in bereavement and loss, I offer a compassionate space to process the unique pain and transition that follows a significant loss.

• Trauma-Informed Support, I bring a trauma-informed perspective to my work, helping you navigate the impact of past events with care, sensitivity, and understanding.

• Men’s Mental Health, a dedicated, non-judgmental space to explore the unique pressures men face, including identity, emotional expression, and relational expectations.

• Emotional & Psychological Well-being, finding a way through the heavy fog of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

• Relational & Life Transitions, navigating the domestic and personal concerns that alter your daily world.

• Personal Growth & Identity, supporting you as you explore, affirm, and embrace your unique self.

Working Together

In all my work, the core focus remains on empowering you to understand and embrace your individual strengths. Whether you’re looking for focused, short-term support to address a specific issue or a deeper, long-term therapeutic relationship, I am here to help you reclaim the life you deserve.

My goal is for you to feel safe, valued, and understood, and perhaps even share a laugh along the way.
