About Richard Hull
Richard Hull is a counsellor who focuses on supporting men through periods of overwhelm, anxiety, depression and stress. He works mainly with men facing family pressures, relationship difficulties and a sense of being stuck or directionless, helping them explore the feelings that leave them restless, hopeless or disconnected from purpose.
Richard offers space for clients to tell their story fully and without pressure. He listens closely, gently explores unhelpful habits and thought patterns, and helps identify the factors that keep someone caught in the same cycles. Drawing on his training, he provides practical tools, strategies and reflective insights intended to restore a clearer sense of direction and greater emotional balance.
Sessions last 45 minutes and typically begin with a brief review of the previous week before focusing on what feels most important in the moment. Clients are invited to speak as much or as little as they wish. Richard asks thoughtful questions, highlights patterns that may be helpful to notice, and can slow things down to support clearer thinking when emotions feel intense. Toward the end of each session he checks in about what was useful and, when appropriate, agrees on practical steps to carry forward between meetings.
Richard aims to combine honesty and kindness with the professional boundaries and experience gained from his training and BACP membership. He recognises that asking for help can be challenging, especially for men raised to suppress emotions, and he seeks to create a supportive environment where progress can begin. Some people notice relief within a session or two, while others benefit from a longer course of therapy; either way, the work is tailored to each person’s needs and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Richard uses client-centered therapy to create a compassionate space where the client’s perspective is central. This approach focuses on listening without judgement, helping people clarify their feelings and identify what matters most, which can be especially useful for issues like identity, relationship strain and emotional overwhelm.He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress.
Mindfulness techniques are used to help clients build present-moment awareness and calm racing minds. Simple practices can reduce reactivity and improve concentration, supporting better sleep, reduced anxiety and steadier emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Richard works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals and preferences. He draws on his training as a registered professional to tailor methods and reviews progress together as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to access support around work, family and other commitments. These options help clients maintain continuity of care, choose the format that feels most comfortable, and fit therapy into everyday life.
