About Richard

Richard Hull is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of practice experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family issues, and he often supports people dealing with life changes, grief and problems with sleep and eating.

Richard offers a listening approach that lets people talk at their own pace. Sessions are 45 minutes and begin with a short check-in about the previous week. He asks questions, reflects patterns and helps clients break down what feels overwhelming into manageable steps.

In sessions he looks at thoughts, habits and relationships that keep people stuck. He introduces practical ideas and strategies you can try between meetings. He also slows things down when emotions run high so people can think more clearly and make steadier choices.

Richard works mainly with men who feel directionless, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. He encourages honest conversation and keeps professional boundaries while being straightforward and human in how he responds.

His practice blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises. He also draws on Internal Family Systems ideas to help people understand competing parts of themselves and how those parts affect relationships and self-worth.

Sessions aim to help people reduce symptoms, clarify priorities and rebuild a clearer sense of direction. He uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and sessions are offered in English only. To begin, clients use the platform matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

Therapy approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows your lead, reflects what’s said and helps you make sense of your experience. This approach can help when someone needs to be heard and to find their own answers.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills are useful when racing thoughts, stress or sleeplessness make it hard to get through the day.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their situation, goals and what feels realistic. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made.

If you plan to work online, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into study or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a busy day.
