Richard Wall

Richard Wall focuses on creating a calm and sensitive atmosphere which is confidential and reliable where clients can come and talk about what’s important for them in their life. He invites the client to be present in the therapy room in the ‘here and now’. Richard recognises deep painful feelings can be hidden in the unconscious and will work with the client to help express and uncover their unknown. Words may be impossible to find, but by working together, being open minded and honest, Richard believes real transformation and change can take place.

Richard supports clients through difficult emotional periods with understanding and encouragement, by working in an Integrative manner responding to the needs of each individual client to better understand their unique experience.

With 20 years experience of working with older people in Social Services, including mental health and dementia, Richard has experience of the devastation and loss caused by witnessing your loved one disintegrate before your eyes. Richard is sensitive to the particular situations and needs facing the elderly and their carers. Coming from a visual arts background, he is also interested in creative ways of dealing with life situations, particularly trauma and breakup.

Richard is an integrative counsellor registered with the BACP. He has undertaken bereavement training with CRUSE.  He works within The Awareness Centre’s NHS counselling service for the Sutton and is currently studying for an advanced diploma in integrative counselling.
