About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. He supports those dealing with trauma, stress, low self-esteem, eating or intimacy issues, and people navigating parenting, career changes or ADHD. Myke is a BACP member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
He works in English and accepts international clients. He draws on eight years of practice across residential care and rehabilitation settings. That experience included supporting young people with social, emotional and mental health needs, autistic spectrum conditions and attention differences, and working as a substance and alcohol misuse therapist in residential rehab.
How Myke works
He has also provided services to schools, workplaces and medical practitioners. Myke uses a mix of practical talking therapies to suit each person. He brings together attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and structured tools from cognitive behavioural therapy.
He also uses dialectical behaviour therapy skills and EMDR where helpful for trauma and distress. Sessions tend to focus on clear, manageable steps. People can expect to look at patterns, try coping skills, and work on relationships and boundaries.
Myke offers open-ended work so people can come short term or longer term according to their needs. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Costs vary depending on location and are charged through a cancellable subscription.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online work
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like talking about how you relate to others and trying different ways of connecting that feel safer and more fulfilling. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which works well over calls or messaging because tasks can be set between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences, and then suggest a blend of methods. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or who need support across different times of day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
