Briegel-Jones
Psychotherapy

Welcome 

Hello, I’m Richard. I’m a curious, warm, and dedicated therapist, committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and build greater emotional well-being, self-understanding, and personal growth.

​

Many of the people I work with appear to be coping well on the outside but feel anxious, low in self-worth, stressed, or emotionally overwhelmed internally. You may notice patterns that once helped you cope but now leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who you really are. My goal is to help you understand why these patterns exist and support you in creating more ease, authenticity, and meaning in your life.

​

My Approach 

I am a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with over a decade of experience. While CBT forms the foundation of my work, I also draw on techniques from other evidence-informed approaches to help you manage difficult emotions, build self-compassion, and respond to challenges in ways that feel authentic to you.

​

We work collaboratively to understand your experiences and develop a tailored roadmap for therapy. Above all, I prioritise a warm, safe, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, providing a space for reflection, growth, and meaningful change.

​

Areas of Expertise 

I have extensive experience supporting adults with:

• Stress and anxiety, including Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic, Health Anxiety, and Phobias

• Low self-esteem and self-criticism

• Depression and mood difficulties

• Life transitions and adjustments

• Reactions to past distressing experiences, including PTSD

​

I help people understand long-standing coping strategies and support them in updating these patterns so they can live with greater freedom, self-trust, and connection.

​

Who I work with

I offer online therapy for individuals aged 17+, providing video and telephone sessions to make therapy accessible wherever you are.
