"Counselling was a new experience for me. From our few meetings I felt that you were a very humane, kind person. I do not often have the chance to meet people like you in my day to day life. It was your ability to listen and prompt for clarity in a gentle way that helped me enormously. I do not think I could have found better for myself. I feel changed."

"I moved from a very desolate place to valuing myself. Rich was never judgemental and I didn’t leave any sessions worrying what he thought about me or what I’d done etc. I’ve never thought I’d be able to feel that way after divulging so much of myself, that in some cases I wasn’t even previously aware of. I worked through things, understood myself, became stronger"

"I could tell you absolutely everything, and you understood. You always made me feel like I had a right to be sitting with you, even though I questioned that myself for many many weeks. At first I would have liked more tips of coping strategies, though I signed up for your style and it has worked. Initially unsure how it was going to work, but then I was surprised. And actually self-led therapy, I feel, equips you better. That's what I've found has been helpful"
"You helped me make new connections that helped me move on. I liked the room, I like you, I liked your demeanour, your ‘investment’ in my troubles: I came away believing that you genuinely cared. I found it helpful when you interjected with questions or put things to me that I had to then comment on."
