About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes helps people facing a wide range of difficulties. He supports those dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and life transitions. He also helps with intimacy and self-esteem concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, eating issues, and career stress.
He works in a straightforward, practical way. He draws on different approaches to suit each person. Sessions can focus on problem-solving, building skills, and making sense of painful experiences.
Background and approach
There is room to look at feelings, patterns in relationships, and what might help day to day. Myke is a BACP member, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He has eight years of clinical experience and has worked in residential settings and substance misuse services.
That background informs how he supports people coping with complex needs and trauma. His approach mixes attachment-focused thinking with client-centred listening and active techniques such as cognitive behavioural work and elements from dialectical behaviour therapy. He also uses EMDR and mindfulness-informed practices when they suit the person's goals.
Myke has worked with looked-after children, people with autism spectrum traits and ADHD, and in rehab settings supporting recovery from substance use. He offers both short-term and open-ended work so people can choose a brief course or continue longer as needed.

How Myke works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Myke will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. He adapts methods so sessions suit the person’s situation rather than forcing a single model.
Session formats are not specified in this profile, so please confirm the options available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, avoid travel time and have more flexible scheduling. It also allows focused work such as skills coaching, thought-restructuring exercises or talking through difficult memories without needing to travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and check-ins so the work remains practical and goal-oriented even when not in the same room.
