Therapy with Rick

About Me

↓

Hello, I'm Rick!

In my practice…

I have had the privilege of working with clients who have experienced what I have come to call early 'psychological wounding' and how they have adapted as a result. This is what I have come to call our adaptive self. Read on to find out more about what is ‘non-recent’ abuse and trauma and how you can overcome your unresolved historical difficulties in therapy.

“Coming from a place of historical wounding to assisting others with their wounding is the hardest yet most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life.”

About my clients…

Some of my clients are questioning ADHD, some of them are addicted to something or someone, or they may be engaging in compulsive behaviours. Most, if not all of my clients are anxious and are suffering the emotional residue of family and relationship problems.

I believe that most, if not all of these issues have been deeply rooted in their ways of coping in response to past difficulties. Because our symptoms are manifestations of reactions to adversity and 1:1 Therapy is a really good way to work with me.

I also see clients who fit the criteria’s for dissociative disorders and OSDD. I have also seen clients who have felt trapped and psychologically paralysed by conspiracy theory beliefs that are significantly holding them back in life and I do offer therapy to cult survivors.


I have further assisted people who have wanted to work on specific life challenges and changes, issues around self confidence and their desire for self improvement. This is where Single Session Therapy would be more appropriate.

I also offer a really welcoming space for other counselling professionals too.

Clients would describe me as formal, direct, flexible, and really easy to talk with.

Why the pain?

“The questions are always the same, because it’s never why the anxiety, or addiction, or compulsive behaviour, or repeating relational pattern or the repetitive self-defeating patterns of - insert symptom here - It’s why the pain? and why are we choosing to stay in the pain?

Having personally experienced a great deal of what my clients bring to therapy. I possess a compassionate and insightful understanding of the emotional residue and strife they are carrying enabling them to grow through the pain so they don’t have to keep choosing to stay in the pain..”

REWARDING RESULTS

Overcome your difficulties, find your truth and personal meaning from your suffering and create the lasting ​change you really want in your life.

Insight and awareness

I believe healing starts with insight and awareness.

This becomes the catalyst for substantial change, and this significantly enables us to find our own personal meaning from our suffering so we can find our truth and purpose in life.

I work from two basic principles - growth and safety - ensuring my clients feel heard, safe and understood is key to the quality of our trusting relationship.
