Richard Murray, BACP

Richard Murray draws on five years of practice to help people who find it hard to speak about what matters to them. He keeps things straightforward and calm. He makes space for difficult feelings that may be hard to name. He lets people bring whatever they want to talk about without judgement.

He aims to create a steady, non-judgemental setting where the client leads the pace. Sessions focus on what the person wants to explore, whether that is stress, grief, anxiety or relationship concerns. The work can look different from week to week depending on what feels most useful.

Richard uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means he follows the person’s experience rather than imposing a fixed plan. He listens for what matters most and reflects that back so patterns and choices become clearer. This approach is often used for issues such as low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and processing trauma and loss.

He offers both short-term and longer-term counselling and psychotherapy. Sessions can be shaped around practical goals like improving boundaries or making life changes, or they can be a place to sit with feelings and make sense of them.

Richard is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people follow the site process to match with him and arrange appointments.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's experience, listening without judgement, and reflecting feelings back so that choices and patterns become clearer. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, anxiety and making sense of past trauma by letting the client lead the conversation and pace.

The collaborative part of therapy means the therapist and client will explore which way of working fits best. Richard will check in about goals, preferences and how each session feels, and adjust the approach together as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy lives, reduce travel time and support regular check-ins when that helps progress. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is limited, while others use longer sessions to work through deeper material. Registered or accredited professionals can offer flexible arrangements to suit different schedules and practical needs.
