Richard Hull

Richard Hull is a counsellor with three years' experience and a BACP registration. He focuses on helping men who feel overwhelmed, anxious or directionless. Richard gives time to let people explain what is troubling them and listens without rushing. Sessions are 45 minutes and start by checking in on the week and deciding what to focus on together.

Richard aims for a straightforward, honest working style. He listens deeply and asks questions that help people spot patterns in their thoughts and actions. He will sometimes slow the pace to help steady difficult moments or to make thinking clearer.

Practical tools and small experiments are part of the work. Richard offers ideas for changing unhelpful habits and for responding differently in relationships. He also helps people reset a sense of purpose and direction when life feels stuck.

Sessions end with a short review of what was useful and, when helpful, a simple practical step to try before the next meeting. Some people find a few sessions enough; others choose ongoing support. Progress is individual and builds over time.

Richard works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strains, anger, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on topics such as attachment, abandonment, control issues, and divorce and separation.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a relaxed space where people feel heard and accepted. It helps when someone needs time to talk through feelings and find their own direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools and short exercises to change unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is reviewed as work progresses so the plan can change if something is not helping.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats offered before booking as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or sessions that focus on practical exercises without the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods to the online setting so clients get listening, feedback and practical tasks in ways that fit their day-to-day routine.
