About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor who aims to help people find steadiness when life feels overwhelming. He works with clients who struggle with anxiety, low mood, stress and relationship strain, and he pays close attention to sleep and rest as part of overall wellbeing. He uses plain conversation and practical tools to help people untangle what’s causing distress.
Richard gives time at the start to hear the full story. Sessions are 45 minutes long and often begin with a short review of the week. He listens, asks helpful questions, and points out patterns that might be keeping someone stuck.
He offers simple ideas people can try between meetings. These might include thought-focused exercises, grounding and mindfulness practices, or gentle shifts in routines that can support better rest and clearer thinking. The aim is to build manageable steps rather than big, overnight change.
Richard describes his style as honest and kind. He aims to create a space that feels like talking with a trusted friend, while keeping professional boundaries. People are free to speak as much or as little as they like during a session.
Most clients notice some relief after the first one or two sessions, although Richard emphasises that lasting change takes time. He helps people track what’s useful, and together they decide what to carry forward to the next meeting.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and space to talk so clients can find their own answers and clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily routines.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how symptoms show up, then agree on methods to try. That plan can change as work progresses, with adjustments based on what the client finds most helpful.
Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a quicker check-in during a lunch break. It can also suit people who prefer not to meet in person. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current online options before booking. Overall the aim is practical: to help people build routines, tackle sleep and rest, and use short, manageable exercises that work between sessions.
