Myke Richardson-Hughes
Practical therapy for complicated life problems
About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, grief, anxiety, trauma, stress, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy and eating. He also supports those dealing with parenting worries, career concerns, ADHD and major life changes. Myke is a BACP member and has eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.
Myke uses straightforward, practical sessions. He listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Conversations may include exploring past attachments, learning new coping skills, or practising ways to manage difficult feelings day-to-day.
Background and approach
His background includes work in residential rehab and settings supporting young people with social, emotional and communication needs. This experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach that adapts to different life situations and levels of challenge. Sessions draw on a mix of methods such as attachment-based ideas, client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour skills and EMDR where appropriate.
Myke explains options and uses the approaches that fit each person’s needs rather than following a single template. People can expect a calm, collaborative space to talk through what matters most and try practical steps between meetings. He offers open-ended therapy, so timeframes and goals can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Sessions & fees
How his approaches work online and in sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they may repeat unhelpful behaviours in close relationships and supports building more supported ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor follows the person's lead, helping them make sense of feelings and discover their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behaviour. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and practised exercises.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods with each person and test what fits best, adjusting plans as goals evolve. This is a collaborative process where preferences and practical needs guide the choice.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow fuller conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and busy family life and to keep contact between meetings when that's helpful.
