Íø±¬ÃÅ

Hi. My name is Richard, and I am a qualified counsellor and therapist registered with the Íø±¬ÃÅ.

Things can be challenging at times, for many of us, and, whether your problems are current or historic, I am here to help you make sense of them and take back control of your life.

I am an integrative counsellor, allowing me to use a wide range of theories, tailored to meet your individual needs. Apart from the standard office-based and online methods of delivery, I also offer ‘walk and talk’ therapy, allowing you to take in the beautiful surroundings of the Essex countryside as we work together.

Through a free consultation of half an hour, during which we can get to know each other and you can ask me anything you wish, we will make a start on your journey to mental wellbeing, including how the sessions will work going forward.

I have experience working with a wide variety of age groups, having worked with children as a school counsellor, and also out in nature for a charitable organisation, as well as adults in both a clinical and outdoor setting.

I have helped people work through relationship difficulties, bereavement, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, as well as working with people with ADHD and ASD.

I know it can be difficult to reach out and speak to someone at the beginning, having had my own personal experiences of this. But, when you find the right therapist, the rewards can be life changing.

I look forward to hearing your story and helping you to find your way to happier, healthier times.

Take care and thanks for taking the time to read my listing.

Finding the right counsellor is an important part of the therapeutic process. As such, I offer an initial half an hour consultation free of charge.

During the session, I will provide information about me and the various ways in which I work. We will run through a brief contract and establish what your priorities are from the process.

If you wish to enjoy 'walk and talk' we will also go through a brief risk assessment to ensure that this will be right for you.

All required paperwork will be sent to you prior to the initial; consultation for you to read and ask any questions you may have.

Nothing needs to be signed and no commitment, financial or otherwise, needs to be made until you have had a chance to decide whether you can work with me.
