About Richard

Richard Hull works with stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, grief and low self-esteem using a straightforward counselling approach. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience.

Richard supports people who feel overwhelmed, directionless or stuck. He gives time to hear how life has become difficult and which patterns keep causing distress. Sessions are 45 minutes long and begin with a short review of the week to decide what to focus on.

In sessions he listens closely and asks practical questions that help make connections between current problems and past patterns. He may suggest simple strategies to change unhelpful habits and to try different responses in relationships. Occasionally he slows the pace to help with tension or racing thoughts.

Richard draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and Internal Family Systems to guide the practical side of therapy. He explains options and helps people try tools between sessions to see what brings relief. Progress varies; some people notice relief after one or two sessions and others find several sessions are helpful.

People looking for help are asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Richard uses therapeutic methods in online sessions

Richard commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in his practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own answers through reflective dialogue; it can help when someone feels unclear about identity or purpose. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options and decide together which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process may mean trying ideas from different approaches to see what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises or thought-recording tasks between meetings to reinforce progress.
