More about Richard
- 3 years' experience
- Male
- BACP
I am licensed in the UK with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with depression, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, & family conflicts.
I use a variety of effective counselling and psychotherapy methods to create self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations.
Counselling is a process that empowers clients to seize back control of their lives, whilst working through issues and problems that have caused them to lose self-esteem, as well as confidence in their own abilities.
Counselling increases self-awareness and a sense of well-being, and is often the first step individuals take on their path to discovering a more positive life.
Counselling is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike.
Celebrating small changes to self-defeating behaviours and coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
My Philosophy of
Atma Prema can be translated as “self-love.” This is not the self as we usually think of it, but the essential self, the self that exists at the centre of all of us.
Atma Prema arises from the realisation that beyond our personal circumstances, faults and fallibilities —beyond even our personal history—we are all capable of change and growth.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Empathetic, non-judgemental, supportive and genuinely interested in helping you make the best decisions. And a sense of humour!
Richard has provided a safe and empathetic space for me to discuss the issues I’m facing, and has given good sparring and inputs to help me see things from different perspectives and to equip me with the toolbox to take on these issues. I have really appreciated my sessions with Richard, he really listens and empathizes while also really helping me to frame my thoughts, and help me identify ways to address them.
