My Specialisms

I have experience working with a variety of issues such as; Depression, Anxiety, Addiction, Anger Management, Eating Disorders, Trauma, and Stress, to name a few.
Children and adolescents are in their formative years with many changes happening in their lives. This can be overwhelming with adjusting to changes, whether that be in school, at home, or with friends amongst others. It is important for your child to understand their emotions and to implement techniques that will help them prosper as they transition into adulthood. Regarding working with Children, and Young People, as I am only offering online counselling it is especially important for me to have an initial assessment with your child to ensure they are able to engage safely with online counselling.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

My name is Rich and I'm an Integrative counsellor which means I can utilise various approaches such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Humanistic, Solution-Focused, Gestalt, amongst many more. The beauty of being an Integrative counsellor is to provide a service that is tailored to you.

The foundation of my approach is Pluralism, which means collaborating with you to ensure you are getting exactly what you need from counselling, in order to prosper. The reason why Pluralism is at the heart of my practice is because I believe it is vital that you are a part of the counselling process and not just a participant.
