Life has a way of piling the pressure on sometimes. And when it does, it’s easy to feel like you’re carrying too much, feeling a bit stuck, lost, or just not sure where to turn next.

Hi there I’m Rich,

I’m a down-to-earth, experienced therapist and I offer a calm space where you can simply show up as you are. Whatever you’re dealing with, be it grief, relationship ups and downs, stress, anxiety, or that vague sense of being a bit “off”,  you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

We’ll take things at your pace, build trust, and create a space that feels safe enough to go deeper. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s going on underneath the surface and help you find your footing again.

Everyone’s story is different. In therapy, you’ll be supported to reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have felt a bit lost or muted along the way. With tailored support that suits your rhythm, we’ll make space for clarity, healing, and growth.

What I offer:

• Therapy that fits you and your way of being

• A calm, open space to talk things through without pressure or    judgment

• Support that’s grounded, warm, and backed by years of  experience

Let’s be honest, life doesn’t always follow a neat path. It twists, turns, and sometimes throws you completely off track. But therapy can be a steady presence in the middle of all that. A space to slow down, make sense of things, and feel a bit more solid in yourself again.

If any of this speaks to you, feel free to reach out for a chat. No pressure, no commitment—just a chance to see if we click. Perhaps we can take that first step together.

Face to face on Mondays from 10am to 5pm

Supervision Rate is £60 per 1.5 hours

Hi, I’m Rich.

I’m a warm, experienced psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and trainer with a down-to-earth approach. I aim to create a space where therapeutic professionals feel truly seen, supported, and able to take a breath.

This work isn’t just about theory or technique. It’s about the emotional labour and the need for honest reflection. I offer a space that’s supportive, grounded, and tailored to you, not just as a practitioner, but as a whole person.

Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, I’m here to work with you. I bring a calm presence, thoughtful insight, and a belief that people can grow in a way that feels good, not rushed or overwhelming. My supervision style is warm, curious, and compassionate. I’ll gently challenge when needed, but always with care and respect.

Over the years, I’ve worked extensively across the charity sector, developing and consulting on therapeutic services, supporting multidisciplinary teams, holding a client caseload, and supervising practitioners from a wide range of organisations. I’ve also served as a trustee for a local charity and currently contribute to the Childhood Bereavement Network’s national advisory group.

I support practitioners and other professionals in a range of areas such as:

• Bereavement, grief and loss

• Relationship challenges

• Stress, anxiety and self-esteem

• Practice-based reflection and self-care

I offer supervision that is non-judgemental, gently challenging, and tailored to your unique style and stage of practice.

I offer a free, initial telephone conversation to assess needs and  see if we'd like to work together.
