My availability changes, so please drop me a line to check.  I'm based in Chancery Lane (London) on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.  I work with people in-person and online.

Hi, I'm Richard, an integrative therapist based in Chancery Lane (London, UK) and online.

I regularly work with men - straight and queer - and the particular issues we face.

I can help you build effective coping mechanisms and improve your self-understanding.  Some of the issues I work with include self-esteem, anxiety, personal and work relationships, sexuality, and loss. 

I have a two-pronged approach: helping to relieve distress in the 'now', but also exploring the past to better understand the root cause.

Being an 'integrative' therapist means I draw from a toolkit of different approaches (like relational, psychodynamic, and CBT) which enables me to provide a service that fits you.

Overwhelming emotions can cause men to withdraw, avoiding conversations with those closest to them.  Withdrawal can increase loneliness and distance in relationships, making it more difficult to ask for help.  

Talking openly with a professional is a good start to lighten the load and reduce stress.  Therapy can be an essential step to improving your life and relationships.

Maybe your personal or work relationships aren’t how you want them to be.  Maybe you want to better understand why you behave in certain ways.  I can help you challenge unhelpful self-beliefs and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.

I graduated from the UK’s leading institute for counselling and psychotherapy, The Minster Centre.

I worked in photojournalism, TV production, and marketing, so understand the importance of empowering people to find and use their voice.

I’ve volunteered as photographer and journalist for THT (Terrence Higgins Trust) and Stonewall. I was also a trustee of London Friend. 

I offer a free online chat to discuss what brings you to therapy, and answer any questions you may have.  After that, it’s £80 per session.

Feel free to get in touch, I'll reply as quickly as I can.
