My approach

I work in a relational, trauma-informed way using CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and the Post-Induction Therapy (PIT) model developed by Pia Mellody — understanding how early attachment wounds shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in adulthood.

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 work at the level where real healing happens.

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.
