About Richard
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist (UKCP No. 10161193). I have been working as a qualified psychotherapist for 17 years. I work with individuals, couples and families, and as a clinical supervisor and psychotherapy trainer. I have held leadership and teaching positions at the Institute of Family Therapy and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, both in London. I currently work part of the week in a busy NHS adults service in south Devon, and part of the week in private practice.
I trained at two internationally recognised NHS services, the Marlborough Family Service and the Tavistock Clinic, both in London. I have been fortunate to have had opportunities to practice in a range of settings and as a consequence I have a broad experience of supporting children, adults, couples and families experiencing acute and more enduring distress in their everyday lives.
The focus of my work is the connection between self and others and our experience of wellbeing as individuals and in our most important relationships. Whether I meet with individuals, a couple or a family, my conversations with clients tend to have a relational focus.
