❌ People-pleasing your way through life - saying yes when you mean no

❌ Being controlled by fears, phobias, or intrusive thoughts - feeling trapped by your own mind

I had an exceptionally positive experience working with Richard. From the very first consultation, he was warm, attentive, and clearly highly skilled at what he does. He created a space that felt both safe and focused, which made it much easier to open up and engage honestly with the process. Richard took the time to really understand my situation and adapt his methods accordingly. His treatment felt thoughtful and grounded in evidence, and I could genuinely feel progress over the course of the six sessions. My overall sense of wellbeing has noticeably improved over the weeks and I feel I have gained practical tools to use outside of sessions, which has made the changes feel lasting rather than temporary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for meaningful, lasting change.

I highly recommend Richard to anyone struggling with insomnia, or stress. His calm, kind and professional approach made me feel completely at ease and within 10 sessions, I began sleeping through the night. As someone who has been struggling with insomnia for as long as I can remember, and who has tried just about everything to help with sleep, this feels like a miracle cure. His techniques were practical and effective and helped me develop a positive outlook which greatly reduced my stress levels. I am truly grateful for the difference he has made in my sleep quality and overall well-being.

As a 51 year old Gay man I have been having therapy sessions on and off for some 20+ years and can honestly say that Richard has been the best therapist I’ve ever had. His methods have been a breath of fresh air. Whereas all previous sessions have concentrated on listening to my issues, woes etc the sessions with Richard ONLY focus on positive life experiences since our previous session. Richard explained to me on our first session that if he asked me how many red cars I passed on the way here I wouldn’t be able to answer. BUT if he were to offer £1M for me to accurately count them on the way home I would certainly be making every possible effort to do so! The point here is that by now making a concerted effort to count the cars I have created a new neurological pathway in my brain. The information was always there on the way to the session but it ‘passed through me’ and had no lasting effect resulting in my being unable to tell him how many red cars I’d seen. By documenting positive experiences as and when they happen from as small as cleaning the kitchen to as large as having a big Sale come in I have effectively create a new positive neurological pathway in my brain reinforcing a positive interaction. Moreover, my over active brain referred to as the ‘stress bucket’ has been calmed by documenting a ‘to do’ list at the start of each day which has helped me stop worrying so much over silly little things not being done (e.g. sending an email/ cleaning a shelf/ tidying my room etc), effectively emptying the ‘stress bucket’ as I don’t nee dot struggle to remember everything I need to do. Finally, Richard’s hypnotic relaxation tape I hear every night without fail (and at the end of each of our sessions) allows me to sleep more peacefully than I have in years despite having a ‘difficult bladder.’ I can not recommend him enough.

I approached Richard for therapy to help me with chronic insomnia and a spider phobia, both of which have been a problem for me for decades. I found him to be approachable, attentive, expert and knowledgeable. From the very first session, his caring and empathetic approach put me immediately at ease. His relaxation technique has greatly helped with my sleep pattern, and with his help I have been able to significantly address my phobia, and all in fewer than 10 sessions. I would highly recommend.

I love the transformation I went through while working with Richard. I have seen other therapists and counselling help before, however I felt that I am being understood for the first time. The change was subtle, and came without even consciously noticing, but my life and how I look at myself started to change for the better. I got unconditional support and understanding. It really elevated my life.

I started working with Richard to help manage and reduce the symptoms of my OCD. Within just a few weeks of working with Richard I noticed a huge improvement which continued throughout our sessions. Richard is very knowledgeable and not only worked with therapeutic techniques but also broke down the science behind OCD and anxiety which really helped to understand and start to address the issues I was facing. I always found Richard to be calm, knowledgeable and non-judgemental in our sessions and I was pleasantly surprised with how well and how quickly his techniques and guidance helped. I would reccommend Richard to anyone considering therapy.

Working with Richard Taylor has been a transformative experience. I was initially curious and a bit reluctant to try hypnosis therapy, my doubts disappeared completely after a few session as I started to see progress and results. Each session felt safe and relaxing, his approach is very calm and professional. The hypnotherapy helped me to work through issues, navigate a stressful period of my life and breaking old habits with noticeable results. I highly recommend Richard to anyone interested in exploring hypnotherapy in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

I used Richard Taylor Therapy last year as I really struggled with anxiety, depression and insomnia for years. I’m so glad I did as he helped me overcome my fear of leaving the house. I’m no longer feeling anxious or depressed and I sleep soundly now. I even lost weight as I was out more. I can’t praise this man enough for all the help I received and I would recommend if you suffer from any of these things don’t hesitate to contact him. You won’t be disappointed

I gave 5 stars but would happily give more….My 10yr daughter has struggled throughout school with talks & presentations etc and when she decided to put her name forward to become school captain we decided to hire Richard Taylor Psychotherapy after a referral from a friend as she was required to do a presentation for the whole school. After only 1 session we noticed a big difference in our daughter’s confidence whilst rehearsing & she was ready & confident after only 3 sessions. The day of the presentation she wasn’t nervous & was actually really excited to do it & after her presentation she said she wanted to do it all over again because she enjoyed it so much. I highly recommend Richard Taylor to anyone looking for help with any issues or problems.

I have just finished 6 sessions with Richard and I couldn’t recommend him enough! I was looking for a gay male therapist who I could feel comfortable with and someone who I could relate with to help me and Richard exceeded all my expectations. Richard made me feel comfortable straight away and has helped guide me through lots of things to grow and continue moving forward with positive techniques that really work. After my six sessions I now feel I have gained some vital techniques and a new mindset that has left me feeling super positive and feeling the best version of myself again. Thank you Richard for your amazing sessions that have transformed my mindset and given me the tools to move forward in my positive growth Journey. Do not hesitate to book in with Richard now I would recommend him to anyone. 10/10.

Richard is absolutely amazing. In just six sessions, I’ve already noticed a significant difference in my outlook and overall approach to things. I already cannot wait to book in for my next 6 sessions! He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, while also being warm, kind, and very easy to talk to. He creates a space that feels comfortable and supportive from the very first session. What I particularly appreciate is his forward-focused approach. Rather than dwelling on the past, his techniques are practical and centered on what you can do now, which I’ve found both empowering and effective. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for thoughtful, results-driven support.
