About Richard
Counsellor (BACP) with three years' experience. Richard Bennett helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem and depression. He works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He accepts international clients.
Richard talks through what is causing distress and the patterns that keep it going. He uses psychodynamic work to look at past relationships and how they shape present behaviour. He also brings in somatic approaches to notice how the body holds stress and emotion. Sessions focus on practical conversation and noticing small changes between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward dialogue about feelings, habits and the situations that trigger them. Richard aims to identify unhelpful patterns like avoidance, impulsivity or codependency and to try different ways of responding. He also covers issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and grief related to end of life.
Richard’s background is recorded as BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With three years of practice, he draws on both talking and body-focused methods rather than relying on any single technique. He adapts what happens in sessions to the person’s needs.

How psychodynamic and somatic approaches work online
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions using this approach focus on conversation about recurring feelings and behaviour, and on recognising how those patterns show up in daily life. This can help when issues include attachment, abandonment or repeated relationship struggles.Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily responses to stress and emotion. In remote sessions the counsellor may guide simple body awareness exercises and reflections on physical sensations tied to anxiety, grief or chronic pain. This approach can help people notice stress reactions and try small practical shifts.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The counsellor will discuss what feels most relevant and adjust methods as work progresses. Clients and the counsellor decide together whether more talking, more body-focused work, or a mix will best meet the client’s goals.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors using these methods, often find remote sessions help people keep continuity of care and maintain momentum between meetings.
