Rick Hall

Hello, my name is Rick(he/him). I am a qualified, BACP registered integrative therapist offering online counselling and psychotherapy to individual adults (18+).

I specialise in working with Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD), supporting people who are LGBTQIA+ and/or have diverse relationship styles. However, I welcome clients from all backgrounds, and offer psychotherapeutic support for a wide range of issues.

Whatever the reason you are seeking counselling or psychotherapy for, I will treat you as an individual and will work to create a professional, secure, warm, and informed environment to support you to explore and navigate any issues you wish to bring.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-knowledgeable, neurodiversity-affirming, sex-positive, trauma-informed, and non-pathologising.

I recognise that your identity may not be the focus of your therapy. Where it is relevant, I offer non-judgemental support backed by training and informed by my experience as a GSRD person.

I am queer, bisexual, kink-knowlegable, white, genderqueer-male, atheist and am invisibly disabled. I live and work within LGBTQIA+ and kink communities and my lived experience informs my practice and outlook on life.

Outside of my work, I support kink education in my local scene, I enjoy gaming, painting, heavy music, and a good cup of tea or coffee.

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch. I offer a free introduction appointment if you would like meet me and discuss how I may be able to support you.

I am trained in an integrative approach to psychotherapeutic counselling. This means that I have studied a range of counselling modalities and may draw from these to work with you in the way that best suits your needs.

However, the core of my approach is person-centred. This means I am non-judgemental, accepting and believe that you are the person who knows yourself best, even if you may feel lost or stuck in life. I will not tell you what to do, instead, I believe in empowering and supporting you to navigate your situation and reach towards an outcome which is authentic and healing for you.

I am not a ‘blank slate’ in my practice - I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and my work is consequently informed by my lived experience as a GSRD person.

I listen attentively, I may ask challenging questions and the process will likely involve some discomfort as we confront difficult material, but supporting your wellbeing is always at the forefront of my practice.

My fees are £50 per 60-minute appointment.

I offer a free 30-minute introductory video call to give you the opportunity to meet me, ask any questions, discuss what brings you to therapy and help decide whether we wish to work together.

There are no obligations to continue after this introduction – I offer it because it’s important that you feel comfortable with your therapist, and this will give you the chance to make an informed decision.
