About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor who focuses on helping people when life feels overwhelming. He works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He also supports those dealing with grief, low self‑esteem, sleep or eating problems and difficulties around parenting and family roles.
Richard holds BACP which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has three years of experience working with people who feel stuck, directionless, or carried along by constant worry and heavy emotions.
How Richard works
Sessions are 45 minutes and start with a short check‑in about the week. In sessions Richard listens closely and gives people space to say what matters most. He asks practical questions, reflects back patterns he notices, and helps clients slow down when things feel tense.
He aims to be straightforward and warm, like talking with a trusted friend while keeping professional boundaries. He combines talking with simple tools and ideas you can try between meetings. That might include ways to change unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, or notice how past experiences affect present reactions.
The work is paced to fit each person’s needs and goals. Richard focuses on clear, steady progress rather than quick fixes. Over a few sessions many people feel relief just from being heard.
Longer work can help rebuild direction, improve relationships and ease persistent anxiety or low mood.

Online approaches that fit your life
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on giving a person a respectful, non‑judgemental space to talk. The therapist reflects what they hear and follows the client’s pace so people feel understood and clearer about their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new behaviours that reduce anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Richard will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that seem most helpful. He treats this as a collaboration so methods can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check‑ins, quick reflections or when a written exchange fits better into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
