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 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.

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.

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.
