Why Richard

What It's Like to Work With a Therapist in Bromley

Choosing a therapist is personal. Beyond qualifications, it's about finding someone you feel safe with — someone who truly gets it, and is easy to reach from Bromley and the surrounding areas.

Warm but Direct

I bring genuine warmth and compassion — but I'll also gently challenge the patterns that keep you stuck. Sessions feel supportive, not superficial.

Trauma-Informed

Everything I do is rooted in understanding how early experiences shape the nervous system. We don't just talk about change — we explore the deeper patterns that may be contributing to current difficulties.

Relational & Real

The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of all meaningful work. I show up as a real person — not a blank screen. You'll feel seen, heard, and understood.

“I still remember speaking to you on the phone a week before I came in and you made me feel calm and like there was hope. You are such a kind, caring and amazing person.”

About Richard

How I Work as a Therapist in Bromley & South East London

I help adults make sense of what's keeping them stuck — whether that's addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. We work together in a confidential, non-judgemental space, in person at my Bromley practice or online from anywhere in South East London and Kent.
