Richard Hodgskinson

Welcome.

If you are reading this I believe you have already shown courage in looking to start a journey of healing from pain; for yourself or for a loved one.

I am a counsellor based in the East Riding of Yorkshire, working in private practice. I work from my home in the village of North Ferriby. My practice is based on the Person-Centred approach but I use a range of therapeutic techniques learnt through training and experience. I have over10 years of experience in the fields of addictions therapy, depression, anxiety and work related issues. I am dedicated to providing the highest possible standard of ethically based client care.

The quality of the relationship between me and my client is central to the helping process I seek to provide. You have the resources for change; my promise is to listen without judgement, in a confidential and safe space, and help you to explore how these resources can be accessed.

I believe that when a person is allowed the space to understand and accept their life experiences they can start to embrace the right, we all have, to celebrate ourselves as unique, worthy and valuable individuals.

If you feel you are struggling to cope with emotions - please contact me to start exploring how I can help. You will be in control and there will be no pressure; I offer a free assessment process and first session, after which we can start to develop a therapeutic plan.

Whatever your decision from this point, I wish you all the very best on your journey.
