About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction and relationship difficulties. He offers direct, calm support for grief, low mood, trauma, self-esteem and parenting concerns. Myke presents options plainly so people can decide what feels right for them.
He draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on clearer communication, practical coping skills and making sense of painful experiences. He also works with concerns such as eating issues, intimacy, anger, career stress and ADHD-related struggles.
Background and approach
Myke holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) membership. He has eight years of experience working in residential settings, learning centres and rehabilitation services. That background includes supporting people who have experienced trauma, attachment difficulties and substance misuse.
In sessions he uses conversational, person-centred techniques alongside structured tools when helpful. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours, exploring attachment patterns, or practising emotional regulation skills. He adapts the mix to what the person needs in the moment.
People can choose open-ended work or shorter focused pieces of counselling. Myke offers one-to-one therapy and relationship work, and he has particular experience with LGBT and transgender matters. He accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills. It works well online when people want tools to manage anxiety, mood or stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and communication skills for intense emotions; its skills training transfers easily to phone or video work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins, homework support or when writing helps structure thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and to use therapeutic techniques between sessions.
