Meet Richard
A calm, experienced counsellor who understands the pressures of modern working and everyday life.
For more than two decades, I've worked in demanding commercial environments while also supporting people as a counsellor. I understand first-hand how responsibility, leadership, deadlines and constant expectations can affect your wellbeing.
Today, I combine that real-world experience with over 17 years of counselling practice to help people find clarity, regain balance and move forward with confidence.
My Experience
My career has been split between two worlds.
For many years, I've worked in demanding commercial leadership roles, where responsibility, deadlines and constant pressure are part of everyday life.
At the same time, since 2008, I've been privileged to work as a counsellor, supporting people through stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties and major life changes.
Living in both worlds has shown me something important: many people who appear to be coping on the outside are carrying far more than anyone realises.
That's why I offer a calm, confidential space where you don't have to keep everything together. A place to slow down, understand what's happening and find a way forward that feels right for you.
As a person-centred counsellor, I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is simply to walk alongside you with empathy, warmth and without judgement.
A quick introduction
If you'd like to get a feel for who I am before we meet, I'd like to invite you to watch this short two, minute introduction. It's simply an opportunity to hear a little about my approach and what you can expect if we work together.
