About Richard
Richard Bennett is a counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and common life struggles. He meets people where they are and helps them talk through stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. He uses a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
He has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is listed as his credential. He tailors sessions to each person, shaping conversations and goals around what matters to the individual rather than following a fixed script.
His work often addresses deeper patterns that affect daily life, such as attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin dynamics, and feelings of guilt or shame. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, disability and end-of-life matters, all covered in his stated focus areas.
Richard draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and reactions. He also uses somatic approaches to help people notice and work with bodily sensations that relate to stress, anxiety and impulses.
He aims for straightforward, practical conversations that build self-awareness and clearer choices. Clients can expect a collaborative plan that reflects their goals and pace. Taking the first step is acknowledged as difficult, and he offers steady support through that process.
How psychodynamic and somatic work translate online
Psychodynamic work helps people look at how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings and choices. It often involves talking through patterns, noticing repeated reactions, and linking past and present to increase awareness and reduce unhelpful cycles.Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and how the body holds stress and emotion. It uses simple notices and gentle exercises to help a person become more aware of tension, impulses or calming signals and learn new ways to respond to uncomfortable states.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether psychodynamic discussion, somatic awareness, or a blend best fits the issues and personal goals. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting work into a busy day and keeping continuity when travel would be difficult. Because this profile does not list session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find remote appointments help maintain regular contact and make it easier to attend during work breaks or when mobility is limited.
