My Approach

Many men seek therapy when they feel stressed, overwhelmed, stuck, worried about something sexual, or uncertain about relationships, work, or direction.  I provide a relaxed, practical, confidential space to talk openly. I'll help you gain greater understanding of what's influencing your responses, increase clarity around what you want, and develop practical ways of moving forward. 

You might ask yourself:
* Why don't I feel good enough?
* Why don't I feel happy?
* Is my job making me depressed?
* How do I communicate better with my partner?
* Why am I single?
* How do I know if my sex life is normal?
* Is this all there is?

My integrative, tailored approach draws from several therapeutic models — including psychodynamic, relational, and CBT. I work practically to help you improve communication, reduce stress, navigate relationships and family dynamics, manage loneliness, and build confidence and clearer direction. We can also discuss - without judgement - sexual issues like unreliable erections, premature ejaculation, low desire, or sexual exploration.

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.

About Me

Hello I’m Richard, a psychotherapist specialising in working with men, based in Chancery Lane, London Bridge, and online. I currently have availability for new clients.

My clients come from across ages, relationship status, professions, and sexualities.  I understand how our backgrounds, and societal and familial expectations can affect relationships, wants, esteem, and sense of purpose. You don't always need a 'big' reason for therapy. I can help with self-esteem, anxiety, feeling unlovable, lonely or stuck. I can help you challenge limiting self-beliefs, and find useful ways through your current stress.

I work with men who are:

* experiencing anxiety, depression, burn out

* feeling low, stuck, or overwhelmed, uncertain

* navigating relationships or dating

* worried about sexual issues, like unreliable erections, premature ejaculation, low desire, porn use, or wanting to open up their sex life

* dealing with self-esteem, confidence, or imposter syndrome

* facing life transitions, family, or work pressures

* navigating life as a man - straight, gay, bisexual, or trans

I'm a UKCP and BACP registered psychotherapist. I trained at The Minster Centre, one of the UK’s leading institutes for counselling and psychotherapy. Before retraining, I spent 20 years working in TV production, photojournalism, and corporate and communications environments. I’ve also volunteered with Terrence Higgins Trust and Stonewall, and was a trustee for London Friend.

I work in central London, EC4A (close to Chancery Lane, Farringdon, Holborn, Blackfriars, and City Thameslink) and SE1 (close to London Bridge, Southwark, and Waterloo). I also work online to provide flexibility for my clients.

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.
