5 out of 5 stars simply isn’t enough to capture the transformative journey I’ve had with Richard. During a particularly challenging period, he provided a safe and nurturing space where I felt seen, heard and understood. And now that I’m in a better place, he’s helping me in my personal growth. To any looking for genuine, effective therapeutic support - I couldn’t recommend Richard enough!

Hi there. My name is Richard. I'm a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with a decade of experience in this sector. I have worked for the NHS, in higher education and in private practice. I specialise in major life transitions, depression, anxiety and relationship issues but can and will work with a very broad range of presenting issues. I endeavour to create a containing space for you to explore whatever it is that brings you to therapy now. My integrative training means we can work together to tailor an individual approach that works for you. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to give therapy a try. I look forward to hearing from you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
