Richard Hull
Helping people rebuild direction and purpose
About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety and relationship strain. He holds BACP registration, and brings three years of counselling experience to his practice. Richard aims to offer a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk and begin to sort through what feels overwhelming.
He makes sessions simple and practical. Time is given to explain what is causing distress and to spot patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
Richard listens closely, asks clear questions and sometimes offers reflections or short exercises to help people think differently about difficult situations. Sessions last 45 minutes and usually begin with a quick review of the week. The conversation then focuses on the most important issue for that day.
Toward the end, Richard and the client check what was useful and, if needed, agree on simple tasks to try before the next meeting. Richard draws on a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices to support change.
He helps with common concerns such as grief, low self-esteem, sleep or eating difficulties, anger and coping with life changes, as well as family and parenting worries. People who value straightforward feedback and practical ideas tend to find his approach helpful. He works collaboratively to set clear goals and helps people rebuild direction and purpose when life feels stuck.
All sessions are delivered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Richard combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural and mindfulness tools. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy so clients can speak freely and feel understood; it helps people explore what matters to them and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns such as anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep, stress management and emotional steadiness.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Richard will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits short check-ins and text-based messaging helps keep momentum between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting and busy lives while still getting regular support from a registered professional.
