About Richard
Richard Turner is a counsellor with 26 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. He supports people who are dealing with addiction, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental environment where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Taking the first step towards change is acknowledged as a brave decision, and he offers steady support through that process.
His approach draws on several well-known methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. He blends these styles to match what each person needs, focusing on practical steps and clearer thinking. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful patterns and practising small changes that fit into everyday life.
Richard also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, intimacy-related difficulties and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar mood conditions. He has additional experience with first responder issues, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counselling, infidelity, jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, paranoia and personality-related difficulties. This range means he is used to working with complex, overlapping problems.
He holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as his credential. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. If someone prefers a direct, practical conversation about what to try next, he aims to provide that in a straightforward and respectful way.
How Richard’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what matters to the client and try different ways of working together. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively, based on needs, goals and what feels most useful in the sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check current options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit around work and family life, reduce travel and make it easier to attend regular sessions. Online appointments can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is busy or for a quieter conversation when needed. Registered or accredited professionals aim to help clients apply therapeutic tools directly into everyday routines.
