Myke Richardson-Hughes helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief and trauma. He also supports those dealing with self-esteem, parenting pressures, career concerns, ADHD and intimacy-related issues. Myke is based in the United Kingdom and brings eight years of clinical experience to his work.

He draws on a mix of well-known counselling approaches to suit each person. Sessions are conversational and practical. Myke listens for patterns from past relationships and current stresses.

Background and approach

Together he and the client identify small, achievable steps to feel steadier day to day. His background includes work in residential rehabilitation for substance and alcohol difficulties. He has also worked with young people in residential and education settings who experienced trauma, complex learning needs and communication differences such as autism and ADHD.

This experience shapes his calm, flexible way of working. Myke is a BACP member, which means he is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He draws on attachment-based ideas, person-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques depending on what fits best.

Many people find this blended approach helps with stuck patterns, unhelpful thoughts and reactivity. Sessions can be short term or open ended according to what a person needs. Myke aims to create clear steps rather than a quick fix, and to help people notice options they may not have seen before.

How Myke’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how people connect now. Online sessions can look at those patterns and help people try new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with clear exercises and experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stressful situations. Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, known as EMDR, helps process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming; it is used when past events continue to affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Myke treats this as a collaborative step and will discuss which methods suit your goals and preferences. Sometimes he blends techniques so work is tailored to what a person needs that week or month rather than sticking to a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts between appointments and can be helpful for tracking mood or asking brief questions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy fit around work, travel or family commitments.
