About me
Life can feel overwhelming, hard and worrying, and if you hear thats probably the case.
This could be because of stress, anxiety, past trauma, depression, relationship struggles, autism, ect.
To be honest with you, I have had my own experience with depression, anxiety, suicide, feeling like an outcase and learning to navigate life and people.
The work we do together is about help you understand, accept and manage how you feel and think with less worry and distress.
Heres what people I have worked with have said.
"It’s like talking with your family without judgment—an easy, insightful chat that opens your mind to new perspectives."
The work we do together is about help you understand, accept and manage how you feel and think with less worry and distress.
"Richard demonstrates such a deep understanding and knows how best to work with us to achieve positive results."
"Since attending therapy, I’ve turned a new leaf in my life and adopted a whole new outlook. I feel positive after every session!"
"Absolutely fantastic. I felt really welcome and listened to. The advice was clear and helpful. Really looking forward to my next session."
If You're Thinking, "Maybe I Should Reach Out…" Do It.
There’s no pressure. No expectations. Just a conversation to see if I’m the right fit for you.
Drop me an email with your phone number, and I’ll give you a call.
"Richard just gets people. He listens, but he also helps you figure things out. I finally feel like I have a way forward."
Let’s take this journey together, because you matter. (Bit cheesy, I know… but it’s true!)

Experience
I have worked with individuals and groups to help overcome abuse, addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, depression and develop acceptance of schizophrenia and suicidalthoughts. I have struggled with my own mental health, and I know how difficult it can be to open up. It has led me on a path to understand how we can improve how we feel and maintain wellbeing. I have worked with several organisations and have a breadth of knowledge to draw upon to help you. Here are some examples of the work I have done.
