About Richard
Richard Murray is a counsellor who aims to make it easier to talk about hard things. He creates a welcoming space where people can speak without fear of judgement. He is calm and unflappable, and he invites honest conversation even when words feel missing.
Richard works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes.
Background and approach
His practice includes work around parenting, intimacy, bipolar disorder and compassion fatigue. He uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person's experience and what matters to them. Sessions are guided by the individual's pace and priorities, not by a strict agenda.
Richard offers both shorter-term and longer-term counselling depending on what a person needs. Clients may also bring questions about identity and gender, including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria, or concerns such as body image, attachment and caregiving stress. Richard is experienced with matters connected to divorce, separation and fatherhood issues.
He has five years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are available in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging within the United Kingdom. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches Richard lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Richard focuses on meeting each person where they are and adapting sessions to what they need. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and he will discuss goals and preferences together to shape the way you work over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling fit day-to-day life. Video calls are good when visual connection matters, phone sessions work well when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth helps, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy part of a busy life.
