Richard Taylor - Registered Clinical Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist

Hi, I’m Richard! Welcome to my practice! I’m a Registered Clinical Psychotherapist & Hypnotherapist, and I’m really glad you’re here.

As a gay man myself, I know how powerful it is to work with someone who truly understands what it means to live life outside the ‘norms’ - the pressures, the shame, the fear of rejection, the search for real connection, the weight of expectations, and sometimes the ways we cope when it all feels too much.

I get it! I’ve been there myself! Before becoming a therapist, I was stuck in destructive patterns of behaviour. I was 25kg heavier, battling anxiety, depression, panic attacks, substance and alcohol abuse. Hypnosis and psychotherapy transformed my life - it freed me to be fully myself. Now, I’m here to help you find that same freedom.

Common areas I help with include:

• Anxiety, stress, and depression

• Low self-esteem and confidence issues

• Sleep issues and insomnia

• Drug and alcohol misuse

• Chemsex and sexual wellbeing

• Findom addiction and financial control

• Porn and sex addiction

• Phobias and unwanted habits

• LGBTQ+ identity, shame, and coming out

• Internalised homophobia and minority stress

• Relationship and intimacy issues

• Kink, fetish, and sexual expression

• Loneliness, isolation, and building connections

I’m fully insured, Enhanced DBS checked, and a registered member of the following professional bodies:

Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH)

Association for Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH)

I follow strict ethical and professional guidelines so you can feel safe and supported.

If you’re ready to feel lighter, calmer, and more connected to yourself and others, reach out. I offer a free initial chat so you can see if I’m the right fit for you.

My three clinic locations are Clapham North, Clapham Junction (Northcote Road) & Battersea (Battersea Rise)
