About Richard

Richard Hull is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, and problems with sleep or eating. He often supports people who feel overwhelmed, directionless, or stuck and want to find clearer ways forward.

Richard gives time for people to explain what feels hard and why. Sessions begin with a short review of the week and a decision about what to focus on. He listens, asks practical questions, and points out patterns or links that might be keeping problems in place.

He uses straightforward, conversational work alongside practical tools. That can include noticing thoughts and testing whether they help or hinder, slowing things down to think more clearly, and learning simple ways to respond differently in tense moments. Sessions last 45 minutes and end with a check on what was useful and any small steps to try between sessions.

Richard aims to be honest and direct in session while keeping clear professional boundaries. He offers ideas and strategies as well as a space to say things that might be difficult to name elsewhere. His approach blends listening with active problem-solving to help people regain a sense of direction and manage strong feelings such as anger or resentment.

People who book are asked to use a short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and giving the person space to tell their story. Online sessions can still follow this rhythm, with the counsellor reflecting back what he hears and helping clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes in everyday life. That practical focus can fit well into remote sessions by setting short experiments between meetings and reviewing them together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will aim to understand your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that feel sensible. That process is collaborative - you decide what to try and he will offer feedback and tools that match your needs.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using exercises and homework between meetings so progress can continue outside sessions.
