About Richard

Richard Cox is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people who feel stuck in familiar patterns that keep repeating, even when they understand why those patterns exist. He is calm, direct and engaged, and he helps clients notice how anxiety and avoidance show up in their bodies and relationships.

Richard focuses on the feelings people find hard to fully experience. He pays attention to the body responses that keep those feelings at bay.

Background and approach

He also looks at the habits and coping strategies that protect people but also limit their lives. His sessions are active and practical rather than only reflective. He watches what happens in the room and points out patterns as they occur.

That way clients begin to have new emotional experiences, not just new ideas about themselves. He commonly works with anxiety, stress, trauma and relationship issues. He also offers support for grief, addiction, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, and struggles with intimacy or emptiness.

Richard trained and practises with psychodynamic and Jungian influences alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. He brings eight years of clinical experience and over 4,000 hours of practice to his work. He describes therapy as helping the nervous system learn it does not need to keep working so hard.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Jungian-informed work looks at images, dreams and deeper personal themes to help people notice recurring inner patterns and make sense of unconscious material. It can help with feelings of emptiness, identity questions and long-standing relationship patterns.

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and coping. It helps people recognise repetitive relational habits and experiment with different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. The counsellor will discuss different ways of working and will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, temperament and the problems they want to address. This is a joint process and can adapt over time as needs change.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work more directly with bodily signals. Phone sessions can suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These choices help therapy fit into busy lives and different routines.
