I work with clients struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and self-criticism linked to trauma and complex PTSD from experiences of abuse, bullying, 'othering', masking, social isolation or rejection.
Hi there, I'm Richard, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I blend different therapeutic approaches to suit your needs, combining techniques from person-centred, attachment-based, and cognitive-behavioural therapy with trauma-informed soothing and mindfulness to help heal trauma.

My initial professional training was in Gestalt psychotherapy, but I have received additional training over the years to enable me to work safely with clients experiencing symptoms such as complex PTSD, OCD, eating disorders and abuse as well as phobias, anxiety and low self esteem.
I offer professional, compassionate support and encouragement to each of my clients so that together we can safely explore the focus of each piece of work. I am trained and experienced in talking therapy, but encourage the use of metaphor and imagery with those who find Jungian based work inspiring and interesting, or those overcoming childhood trauma.

We are often taught that some feelings are "good" and others are "bad," but really, every emotion is just trying to tell us something.
When we carry old pain, it is common to swing between two extremes. Sometimes we numb out and shut down until we feel stuck. Other times the pain becomes so loud and the urges so strong that they feel impossible to control. Both are just ways you’ve learned to cope with things that were too much to handle alone.
In our sessions, we can slow down to face these feelings without being forced to act on them. This lets the struggle settle so you can finally feel more steady.

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
