About me
My name is Richard Wyatt and I am a qualified, Person-Centred Counsellor and supervisor. I completed my Diploma in Counselling in 2008 at the University of Cumbria. I currently work in private practice based at The Storey Institute in Lancaster, and have many years experience working in secondary schools. I also have a number of years experience working in community drug and alcohol treatment centres across the northwest.
The way I like to work is to build a safe and trusting relationship with the client, based on acceptance, understanding and openness. This environment can enable the client to talk about and explore their personal issues; perhaps to a depth that they have been unable to achieve before. This process can help the person to make sense of their difficulties and make changes to their life that can lead to improvement.
My styles is of a non-directive nature, which means that the client decides what to talk about and the frequency and duration of therapy. My belief is that it is the quality of the relationship which determines the outcome of our work together.
I work with issues such as a anxiety, panic attacks, stress, relationship and family issues, bereavement, loss, trauma, depression, addiction, and anger management.

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.
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.
