My clients come from across ages, relationship status, professions, and sexualities. I understand how our backgrounds, and societal and familial expectations can affect relationships, esteem, and sense of purpose.
Many men seek therapy when they feel stressed, overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about relationships, work, or life direction. I provide a relaxed, confidential space to talk openly, help you gain greater understanding of what's influencing your responses, increase clarity around what you want, and develop practical ways of moving forward.
My integrative approach draws from several therapeutic models — including psychodynamic, relational, and CBT — that's flexible, practical, and tailored to you. Therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening, find coping mechanisms, and move toward a clearer, confident version of yourself.
People often stay with me long-term, developing a trusting relationship that supports the work. Many return during life transitions, seeking further guidance from someone who already knows them well.
Hi I’m Richard, a psychotherapist specialising in working with men, based in Chancery Lane, Central London, and online. I currently have availability for new clients.
I'm a UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapist supporting men with their anxiety, low mood, relationships, sex, self-esteem, uncertainty and stuckness, and work issues.
I work with men who are:
* experiencing anxiety, stress, burn out
* feeling low, stuck, or overwhelmed, uncertain
* navigating relationships, dating, sex, or communication
* dealing with self-esteem, confidence, or imposter syndrome
* facing life transitions, family, or work pressures
* struggling with self-esteem issues, or feeling unlovable
I trained at The Minster Centre, one of the UK’s leading institutes for counselling and psychotherapy. Before retraining, I worked in marketing, photojournalism, and TV production, so understand the business world and the importance of communication. I’ve also volunteered with Terrence Higgins Trust and Stonewall, and was a trustee for London Friend.
I work in central London, EC4A, just a few minutes walk from Chancery Lane, Farringdon, Holborn, Blackfriars, and City Thameslink stations. The building is a Grade 2 listed 17th century town house and provides a calm space in the heart of London.
Message me and we’ll arrange a free, no obligation chat. It’s an opportunity to talk about what’s brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, and ask any questions you have for me.
