Hi, I'm Richard, an accredited Psychodynamic Counsellor (BACP) and registered Social Worker (SWE) with 20 years of experience supporting people through some of the most difficult circumstances life can bring. That background, spanning child protection, traumatic life events including complex family/relationship breakdowns, has given me a deep understanding of how early experiences shape the way we think, feel and relate as adults. I bring this experience along with warmth and understanding into every session.
I use Brief Psychodynamic Therapy — a focused, time-limited approach that explores the emotional patterns formed early in life that quietly shape how you feel and behave today. Understanding where those patterns come from, rather than just managing symptoms is what creates real, lasting change.
Taking that first step can feel daunting. To make it easier, I offer an initial session at no cost if you decide I'm not the right fit, so you can get a real sense of how I work before committing to anything financially. I also work alongside my dog, Indie, who is calm, gentle and used to being in the therapy space if you'd like that - entirely your choice.
