About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. He works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and life changes. He is approachable and direct, offering a calm space to talk through what is causing distress and confusion.
Clients typically start by describing the immediate problems they face. Richard listens closely and helps name the patterns that keep problems repeating. He focuses on practical steps and small changes people can try between sessions to feel steadier and more in control.
Background and approach
His way of working blends talking and practical tools. Sessions last 45 minutes and usually begin with a short review of the week. The conversation then moves to whatever feels most important that day, with time to slow down if things feel intense or confusing.
Richard draws on client-centred ideas to make space for each person’s experience. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques and mindfulness practices to help manage anxious thoughts and overwhelming feelings. He will offer reflections and suggestions when they seem useful, rather than lecturing or rushing.
People who come to him often want help with relationships, family strain, grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, anger and coping with life transitions. He also supports work on attachment, communication problems and finding life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Approaches that fit online therapy
Richard uses client-centred work to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely about what matters to them. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can make clearer choices about change.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for tackling racing thoughts, worry cycles and low mood by testing beliefs and trying new behaviours.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Richard will discuss different methods with each person and agree together what to try based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online work makes it easier to fit therapy around daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a lower-key check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick reflections, written processing or days when typing feels easier than talking. These formats give flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy going between work, family and other commitments.
