Richard Turner, BACP

Richard Turner is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 26 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. He also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, bipolar challenges and life transitions.

He uses a mix of practical talking approaches that help people notice what matters and take manageable steps. Sessions focus on clear problems such as coping with strong anger, managing addictive urges, and reducing work or family stress. He encourages straightforward conversation about feelings and behaviour without judgement.

Richard draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses. He also uses Client-Centred methods and Motivational Interviewing when people want space to clarify values and make changes. That gives room for both reflection and action.

He has particular experience with first responder issues, hoarding, hospice and end-of-life counselling, infidelity and obsessive-compulsive concerns. He also addresses compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties where these affect daily coping and relationships.

Sessions are conducted in English from the United Kingdom and he accepts international clients. For people worried about anger or outbursts, his approach is practical and step-based, helping them notice triggers, try new responses and build more reliable ways of handling stress and conflict.
