About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction and trauma. He also supports those dealing with grief, parenting stress, eating and intimacy-related difficulties.
Myke draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. He adapts methods to practical problems, such as unhelpful thoughts, difficult emotions and repetitive patterns in relationships. Sessions focus on noticing thought patterns, trying new responses and building helpful skills.
His background includes work in residential settings with young people who have social, emotional and communication needs, and roles in substance and alcohol misuse treatment within residential rehab. That experience informs his work with addiction, loss and complex emotional responses.
Myke uses a range of approaches when useful, including DBT, EMDR and mindfulness-informed techniques. He may combine these with person-centred conversation or short-term, solution-focused strategies to address immediate problems and longer-term patterns.
He has worked with issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, autism spectrum conditions, ADHD and chronic health challenges. He offers individual therapy and couples counselling and has experience addressing same-sex and transgender relationship concerns.
Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled following the site process.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Myke commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in clinical work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternatives, which suits problems like anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns formed in early life and how they affect current relationships and intimacy. Client-centred therapy emphasises clear, non-directive conversation to help people clarify what matters to them.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That discussion is collaborative and can change as new needs emerge during therapy.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so check the site to confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break or removing the need to travel. It can also allow sessions without video when someone prefers a phone call that uses less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals offer a range of ways to meet; clarify the exact format when you arrange the first session.
