Richard Hull, BACP

Richard Hull is a counsellor who focuses on helping men who feel overwhelmed, anxious or directionless. He offers a calm, down-to-earth space to talk through what is causing distress. Sessions are 45 minutes and begin with a short review of the week to decide what to focus on together.

He listens closely and gives time to tell the full story without pressure. Richard asks questions that help make patterns and connections clearer. He may slow things down when tension is high and reflect back observations that could be useful.

Richard combines a warm, honest manner with practical tools and ideas. He looks at habits, relationships and thoughts that keep people stuck and suggests alternative ways of responding. Work between sessions can include simple tasks to try out new approaches in everyday life.

People often feel some relief after a session or two, simply from having space to be heard and someone on their side. Some people use a few sessions to address a specific problem, while others prefer a longer course of work to change patterns and build purpose.

With three years of experience and BACP registration, Richard draws on established counselling methods to support clearer thinking and steadier emotions. He works in English and practices in the United Kingdom. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and personal change

Richard uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client's own goals set the pace. This approach focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions, which can suit issues like low self-esteem and feeling directionless.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. CBT breaks concerns into manageable steps and offers practical strategies for anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will collaborate with clients to decide what methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep regular appointments even when life is busy, helping therapy become part of everyday routines.
