About Richard

Richard Hull is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. He focuses on helping men who feel overwhelmed, anxious, low or unsure of their direction. Sessions aim to create space to talk, to sort through difficult feelings, and to find practical steps forward.

He invites clients to describe what is causing their distress and listens without rushing. Sessions are 45 minutes and usually begin with a brief check-in about the week.

Background and approach

Richard aims to notice patterns in thoughts, habits and relationships and to reflect these back to help clarify what’s happening. Work often includes looking at unhelpful thought patterns and trying new ways of responding. He combines listening with practical ideas and tools drawn from different approaches, so people leave sessions with something to try between meetings.

Sometimes sessions slow the pace to help someone think more clearly when things feel tense. Richard describes his style as honest and warm, like talking with a trusted friend while keeping professional boundaries. He aims to build trust quickly and to offer clear, straightforward support rather than technical language.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are revisited as progress unfolds. Therapy can be short term for specific problems or longer term for deeper issues such as identity, purpose and attachment patterns. Richard works in English and does not take international clients.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without judgement. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help you make sense of feelings and find your own solutions; this suits issues like low mood, identity and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses short, practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and develop new habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Richard works collaboratively to decide what feels best. He will discuss goals and preferences, try things out, and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation; phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life and to keep momentum between sessions.
