About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor with three years' experience supporting men who feel overwhelmed, anxious or directionless. He offers a calm space to talk through what is causing distress and to work out practical steps forward. Sessions last 45 minutes and begin with a short review of the week to decide what matters most for that session.
Richard listens closely and asks questions that help people notice patterns in their thoughts and behaviour. He gives time for clients to say what they need without pressure to explain things perfectly. Where useful, he will slow the pace to help a person think more clearly when tension is high.
He pays attention to habits, relationships and thought patterns that keep people stuck. Together they look for new ways of responding and small actions that can change daily life. Richard aims to rebuild a sense of direction and purpose rather than offering quick fixes.
His style is open and straightforward - honest and kind, with clear boundaries grounded in his BACP training. He uses practical tools, reflections and agreed tasks between sessions when these feel helpful to the client.
Many clients notice relief after the first one or two meetings simply from having someone listen without judgement. Some people choose a short course of sessions; others prefer to continue for longer as they develop greater self-understanding and steadier coping.
Sessions are conducted in English and Richard works from the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted, and session options should be confirmed before booking.
Approach and online therapy options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are, helping people feel heard and supported while they find their own solutions. This approach is useful for emotional overwhelm, relationship worries and rebuilding a sense of identity.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It gives clear techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build practical routines that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them. It can help when the mind is racing or when stress makes it hard to settle.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful. Goals, preferences and daily life shape the plan, and approaches can be combined or adapted over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy around family life, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or allow people to choose whether to be on camera or not depending on comfort and bandwidth.
