About Richard
Richard Murray is a counsellor who offers a calm, non-judgemental place to talk. He uses straightforward language and listens without surprise. He aims to make it easier to say the things that feel difficult or shameful.
Richard works from a person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on what matters to each person rather than fitting them into a label. He encourages people to set the pace and to bring whatever feels important that week, whether that is stress, grief, anxiety or issues around identity and intimacy.
Sessions can cover a wide range of concerns. Common topics he supports include depression, relationship strain, parenting worries, career uncertainty, and the effects of past trauma or abuse. He also works with issues such as body image, attachment, and challenges linked to ageing and caring responsibilities.
With five years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Richard aims to be practical and down to earth. He offers both short and longer-term counselling depending on what people need. He is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

How his person-centred approach works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding each person as they are. The counsellor offers listening, reflection and acceptance so the person can speak freely and find their own ways forward. This approach suits issues like anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it centres on the person's experience rather than fixed techniques.Richard builds sessions around what each person needs. Deciding which way of working is best is a shared process. He will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with the client and adapt sessions as things change over time.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are offered before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day at work. It can also let people access support while living in different parts of the United Kingdom. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these options to help sessions fit into everyday routines.
