Hello, I’m Richard
I’m Richard Mann, an integrative counsellor offering confidential therapy to adults in North London and online across the UK.
A little about me
I know that speaking to someone new can feel daunting. My aim is to offer a confidential, non-judgemental place where you can talk about what is troubling you, without needing to have the right words.
I believe the relationship between us matters most. I like to work collaboratively, so we can explore your experiences and agree what would be useful for you.
I have a Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and experience in NHS counselling services in Lambeth through the Awareness Centre, as well as private practice. Before counselling, I worked for over 30 years in management in the leisure and retail sector. That experience has given me an understanding of high-pressure working environments and work-related stress. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship difficulties and compulsive sexual behaviour.
My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodiversity aware. I am a BACP registered member (MBACP Accredited).
How I work with you
Being an integrative counsellor means I draw on different approaches. Sometimes it helps to understand the experiences behind a difficulty; sometimes a practical technique is useful. We can discuss what suits you and review it as we go.
