About Richard
Richard Hull is a counsellor who focuses on helping men who feel overwhelmed, anxious or directionless. He uses clear, straightforward sessions to listen and help untangle what is causing distress. Sessions run for 45 minutes and start with a short check-in about the week.
Richard gives people time to explain how they feel and what is getting in the way. He pays attention to patterns in thoughts, habits and relationships.
Background and approach
He will ask questions, reflect back what he notices, and sometimes slow things down to help a client think more clearly when emotions are high. His work aims to help people find practical ways to respond differently to life’s pressures. That can include exploring unhealthy routines, looking at unhelpful thinking, or trying new ways of interacting in relationships.
When useful, he suggests simple tasks to try between sessions to help make steady progress. Richard describes his style as honest, kind and personable. He aims to build trust in a way that feels like talking to a close friend, while keeping professional boundaries in place.
This balance is meant to help clients feel understood without pressure to perform. With three years of experience and membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP, he supports people working through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and challenges such as sleep and eating problems. He also addresses more specific concerns like attachment and communication difficulties.
People often notice relief after the first sessions simply from having someone listen. Over time the goal is greater clarity, steadier mood, and a clearer sense of direction and purpose.

How Richard works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide what methods to try. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Check which online session formats are offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to keep therapy in a regular routine. It can also make shorter check-ins or focused skill practice simpler to arrange around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists on this platform, will help tailor sessions so they suit your day-to-day life and goals.
