About Richard
Richard Murray is a counsellor who aims to make it easier to say what matters. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who find it hard to talk, feel ashamed, or struggle to put feelings into words. He is comfortable with difficult topics and wants clients to know it is okay to bring whatever they are experiencing to sessions.
With five years' experience, Richard works from a client-centred approach. That means the conversation is driven by the person's needs and pace rather than a fixed agenda. Sessions can be short term or long term depending on what someone prefers and what helps in their day-to-day life.
He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and also works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy and relationships. There is additional experience with topics such as parenting, caregiver strain, ageing concerns, gender dysphoria and body image among others.
Richard holds BACP, which is shown as his professional credential. He practices in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are not currently accepted, so bookings are arranged for people based in the UK.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Richard is open to discussing how best to work together before sessions begin.
Client-centred work and how it translates online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's lead. The therapist offers empathic presence, reflects what is said and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and self-esteem issues.Working together is presented as a collaboration. The therapist will talk with a new client about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those needs. Finding the right approach is part of the process and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also help people stay connected to consistent support during life changes. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists will help decide which way of meeting best matches practical needs and therapeutic aims.
