Richard Bird

Hi, my name is Richard Bird, Happy new year for 2021, thank you for visiting my page. In these challenging times, it is as important as ever to self-care and look after our mental wellbeing. 

My background is that in my former career, I have 30 years experience working up to Director level in Investment banking In the City of London. I worked mainly for banks, including Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers. 

Whilst I work with a broad range of clients, I have particular experience with:

• Enabling men to manage their issues, at work or home
• Supporting people in their relationships 
• Working with professional people to meet their goals

I will offer a complimentary introductory meeting, which can help you decide if you wish to proceed with counselling.  

I am trained to Post Graduate Level 5 Psychotherapeutic Counselling (CPCAB) and have 30 years experience of working in the financial industry (Investment banking.) 

* In the current climate, I am offering remote counselling, via 'phone, skype or zoom at a time that suits you, with immediate availability. The cost is £50 per session. *

* I am currently only working remotely, when we are able, Face to face sessions will be available in our Grade 2 listed building in central Harpenden, Hertfordshire, easily accessible from Luton or St Albans. F2F sessions are £50. 

I offer a complimentary first session either via phone, video call or face to face where possible. This is for us to get to know each other a little, to see if we might be a good fit to work together, with no commitment. We can talk about your reasons for coming to therapy and work out a way forward together. 

As a Clinical Supervisor in training, I can offer Supervision, at a reduced rate of £20 per session, over Zoom. My modality is Integrative, with a Person-centered core. Please feel free to contact me to discuss.
