My Approach

Hello, I am Richard Hughes, a qualified and accredited psychotherapist.

As a relational integrative psychotherapist, I work in a collaborative and conversational way, remaining open and curious about what emerges in our sessions. This way of working can help develop new perspectives and purpose. It nurtures a deeper, 'integrated' sense of self, more meaningful relationships and ultimately change.

About Me

I offer weekly psychotherapy and counselling in central Walthamstow which is on the Victoria line, 17 mins from Oxford Circus or on the overground from Liverpool Street Station.
​
Weekly one hour sessions: £60
​
I am sure you will have some questions, so in the first instance if you would like to speak with me, please call me on 07970 245 899 - there is no obligation.

I work with all adult age groups, LGBT+ and black, Asian and minority ethnic people.

Issues I work with include: Relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, acute trauma, bereavement, loss, toxic work environments, work/life balance, panic attacks, feeling stuck, ruminating/catastrophizing thoughts, life/career changes, sex and intimacy, sexuality, self-confidence and self-worth, age-related issues, a sense of difference, being broken-hearted and being relationship ready.

As a psychotherapist, I am qualified to work with issues such as complex/childhood trauma, PTSD, adult ADHD, OCD and OCPD and other diagnosed personality disorders.

I am committed to changing the perception of psychotherapy and counselling which I believe is 'everyday, essential, wellness maintenance'.

I have worked within Wandsworth and Sutton NHS as a clinical team leader.

My training includes a 5 Year MSc/Diploma in Psychotherapy (Level 7) at the Metanoia Institute which is validated by Middlesex University.

I carry full professional indemnity and public liability insurance and I have an up-to-date enhanced DBS certificate.

I am registered with the ICO and follow GDPR principles and guidelines which can be found in my privacy policy.

I worked in television production for over 20 years and was actively involved in creative diversity and mental health awareness in that industry.
