Richard Hull, BACP

Richard Hull is a counsellor who focuses on helping men navigate stressful life moments. He holds BACP accreditation, and brings three years of practice to conversations about anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. His sessions are calm and unhurried, giving clients space to explain what’s happening in their life and how it affects them.

Richard listens closely and helps people untangle recurring thoughts and habits that keep them feeling stuck. He works alongside clients to notice patterns and to try different ways of responding to stressful situations. Sessions typically last 45 minutes and start with a brief review of the week to set the day's focus.

He uses a mix of talking, practical techniques and gentle pacing to help people think more clearly when life feels overwhelming. At times he will reflect observations, slow things down to steady difficult moments, or suggest small tasks to try between sessions. This approach aims to restore direction when life feels directionless or heavy.

Richard commonly supports people dealing with relationship strain, family pressures, grief, sleep and eating problems, anger and issues around self-worth. He also works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

Therapy can be short term or ongoing depending on what a person needs. He encourages a collaborative process where practical steps and clearer thinking help clients move forward with greater calm and confidence.

How his approaches work online and in practice

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers a warm, accepting space and follows what matters most to the person. This helps when someone needs to feel heard and to explore their feelings without pressure.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical ways to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with the client and agree together on what to try. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs become clearer.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when people need brief support between longer sessions.
