★★★★★ Richard is outstanding. From day one he created a safe, non-judgmental space and really listened. He blends empathy with practical tools that actually work—every session gives me something useful to take home. In just a few months I’m less anxious, sleeping better, and handling stress in ways I never about. The sessions are calming, scheduling is easy, and he’s incredibly flexible. If you’re hesitant about therapy, start with him—you won’t regret it. Highly recommend!

Richard has helped me work through a lot and find better balance in my life. When I first started seeing him, I was struggling with myself, and he gave me tools and exercises that has made a real difference. He’s patient when I need space, but still checks in to make sure I’m doing okay. His calm, easygoing approach makes it comfortable to open up, and I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for genuine support in therapy.
