About me
Hello, I’m Richard, a psychotherapist specialising in working with men. I'm based in Chancery Lane, London Bridge/Southwark, and online. I currently have limited availability for new clients.
You might ask yourself:
- Why don't I feel good enough?
- Why am I so anxious?
- Why don't I feel happy?
- Is my job making me depressed?
- How do I communicate better with my partner?
- Why am I single?
- Why do I have trouble around sex?
- Why I do feel lonely?
- Do I have a neurodiversity?
- Is this all there is?
I can help with overwhelm, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, sex/sexuality, dating, family issues, stuckness, and work stress.
You don't always need a 'big' reason for therapy. I can help you challenge limiting self-beliefs, and find useful ways through your current stress.
I provide a confidential space to talk openly, help you gain greater understanding of what might be affecting your responses, increase clarity around what you want, and develop practical ways of moving forward.
My clients come from across ages, relationship status, sexualities, and professions.
Getting started
Email me to schedule a free 30 minute chat to discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. It’s also good opportunity to ask me any questions you might have.
Where I work
- Central London, EC4A, close to Chancery Lane, City Thameslink, Farringdon, Holborn, Blackfriars, and St Paul's
- Central London, SE1, close to London Bridge, Southwark, Waterloo, and Blackfriars
- I also offer online sessions to provide flexibility for my clients, wherever they're based.
The therapeutic relationship
People often stay with me long-term, developing a trusting relationship that supports the work. Many return during life transitions, seeking further guidance from someone who already knows them well.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a Central London and online-based psychotherapist (BACP, UKCP) offering tailored and practical support for men navigating anxiety, self-worth, relationships, sex/sexuality, family, and work issues.
My integrative, practical approach draws from a variety of modalities, allowing me to adapt to your unique needs. My practice is also sexually-informed, which means I work with all sexual issues.
Research consistently shows that one of the strongest predictors of 'successful' therapy isn't a specific technique, but the quality of the relationship between you and your therapist. Feeling understood, accepted and able to talk openly provides the foundation for meaningful change. I work to create a relaxed, comfortable, confidential space.
Before retraining as a psychotherapist at The Minster Centre (one of the UK’s leading psychotherapy training centres), I spent 20 years working in TV production, photojournalism, and corporate / charity communications.
I've volunteered with Mind, Stonewall, and Terrence Higgins Trust, and was a trustee for London Friend.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
