About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years' experience. He supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, and coping with life changes.
He commonly works with men who feel overwhelmed, directionless or stuck. Sessions start with time to explain what is happening and what matters most. That first talk can help bring a little relief by simply being heard and understood.
In sessions Richard listens closely and asks practical questions to clarify patterns and triggers. He will point out links between what happens now and earlier experiences when that seems useful. Sometimes he will slow the pace to help someone steady their thinking when things feel tense.
Richard uses tools and strategies alongside listening. He looks at unhelpful habits and thoughts and offers ways to respond differently. He also encourages practical steps to try between meetings to test new approaches in daily life.
Sessions last 45 minutes and usually begin with a short review of the week. Together they decide what to focus on that day, and finish by noting anything useful and any practical actions to try before the next session.
He aims to work honestly and directly, with clear boundaries and respect for each person's story. People who want help sorting out relationships, managing anxiety, or finding a clearer sense of purpose may find his style straightforward and practical.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to help them make sense of their feelings. It can help when someone needs time to talk things through and be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift and new issues arise.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around everyday life and keeping continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. Please confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Many people find remote sessions allow easier scheduling, shorter check-ins when needed, and the chance to attend from wherever they are without extra travel.
