About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor with three years of practice who focuses on work and wellbeing. He supports people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or directionless. Richard offers a calm space to talk through pressures from work, family and relationships. Sessions last 45 minutes and begin with a short review of the week to decide what matters most in the session.
Richard gives time for people to explain what is causing their distress. He listens closely and asks questions to help make sense of recurring patterns. He will sometimes slow things down to help a person think more clearly when emotions feel intense.
His approach combines client-centred listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness, along with parts-focused work from Internal Family Systems. That mix is used to tackle stress, anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and problems around relationships and parenting.
Richard describes his style as honest and kind, aiming to build trust similar to a close friend while maintaining professional boundaries. He offers tools and suggestions people can try between sessions to help bring relief and new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Progress looks different for everyone. Some people notice relief after one or two sessions, while others continue longer to deepen self-understanding and life direction. Richard helps people regain a clearer sense of purpose and smoother relationships as they work through challenges.
Approaches used in online work and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and repeated negative thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce stress and calm a racing mind. It supports people who struggle with overwhelm and who want tools to steady their thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods together to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue regular sessions while juggling work, family and other commitments.
