I am an experienced psychotherapist who has helped many people through difficult times in their lives. I will work together with you to discuss, understand and resolve anything that’s on your mind My priority is to create a space where you feel listened to and accepted. We will explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and situation.  Together, by developing deeper understanding and meaning, we can create positive changes in your life. I’m a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BCAP). For more information, please visit my directory listing.  

Perhaps you feel stuck, find yourself in the middle of a crisis, or you want a space in which to examine and reflect on your own story and what has brought you to the point you’re at now. Perhaps you want to see if there is another way of telling your story. My intention is to grow a unique and collaborative relationship with you. We may work on your present situation as well as the whole of your history. Putting it as simply as I can: I provide a confidential space in which you’ll be able to talk openly.

I understand the decision to seek counselling can, in itself, be a difficult one. The many challenges of navigating life often result in difficult feelings. Perhaps you have tried other approaches to improving your mental health and still feel there is something missing, issues unspoken or unexplored. I am here to help you to make space for a healing therapeutic relationship, to assist in recognising the impact of past experiences and their continuing effect on your quality of life. Together, we can work towards your goals and desired outcome, at a pace that suits you.

Hi, I’m Richard! Welcome to my practice. I’m a gay, Registered Clinical Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist, working with LGBTQ+ clients in person (Clapham North, Clapham Junction, Battersea) and online. If you’re ready to break free from anxiety, addictions, or self-destructive patterns, I’m here to help. My own journey overcoming anxiety, depression, and destructive habits fuels my work — I know real change is possible because I’ve been there. I offer a free 1-hour consultation to ensure I’m the right therapist for you — let’s talk.

I am a qualified BACP psychotherapist/Counsellor and an almost qualified Counselling Psychologist as well as an LGBTQIA+ community member. I offer a warm, accepting, and non-judgemental therapeutic space and I work integratively from a trauma informed perspective drawing on different therapeutic modalities depending on your needs, goals and preferences (including person-centred, CBT, CFT, Narrative and also utilise some elements of DBT and SFT). My practice is both LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent affirmative and I have lived, worked and been educated in four different countries so I am used to and value different communication and interactional styles.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in private practice both online and in person in London

I’m a psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner with a good sense of how past experiences impact on us. My approach is warm, direct, and relational.

I’m a queer therapist working with LGBTQ+ people and creatives, and often people who are both. I came to therapy partly through my own experience of navigating identity, and I bring that alongside 20 years as a working musician and artist. When you talk about your queer life or your creative work, I’m not translating. I’m with you. Sessions are calm, insightful and honest. I’ll listen carefully and push back when it seems useful. gently, but genuinely. I work in person at London Bridge and Golders Green, and online.

I am an integrative-relational psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, counselling lecturer and trainer, offering affirming counselling, psychotherapy and supervision. I work particularly with LGBTQI+ clients exploring identity, relationships, shame, trauma, belonging, culture, family dynamics, neurodivergence and experiences of being othered. My approach is warm, relational and process-led, helping clients feel understood while gently making sense of emotional patterns, attachment wounds and relational experiences. I am a BACP Accredited Member and NCPS Accredited Registrant. My doctoral research focuses on psychotherapists’ microskills and moment-to-moment therapeutic events, informed by object relations and attachment, which also shapes my reflective supervision practice.

I am a registered psychotherapist currently working online at The School of Life as well as seeing private practice clients both online and in person. In the past, I’ve worked as a volunteer therapist for LGBTQ+ charities such as, London Friend and The Terrence Higgins Trust for 3 years. I am experienced in working with issues related to anxiety, depression, shame, gender dysphoria, homophobia, complex family dynamics, bereavement, grief, addiction, self-loathing and feeling marginalised due to race, gender or sexuality.
