About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes is a BACP counsellor with eight years' experience. He works with adults on problems such as anger, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties and grief. He also supports people dealing with stress, low self-esteem, trauma and issues around intimacy and parenting.
Myke draws on a range of approaches to suit what a person needs. Sessions can focus on practical skills for managing strong feelings, ways to change unhelpful thinking, or looking at how early attachments affect current relationships. He has worked in residential settings and with people in addiction recovery, which shapes a practical approach to day-to-day problems.
When someone comes with anger or resentment, Myke will talk through what happens in heated moments and work on strategies to reduce reactivity. That might include breathing and grounding techniques, emotion regulation skills from dialectical behaviour therapy, and looking at thought patterns that keep anger active. He also addresses how past hurt and attachment issues can feed current responses.
His practice includes support around sexual identity and same-sex and transgender relationship matters. He offers one-to-one therapy and couples counselling and has experience with looked-after young people and those with neurodiverse profiles, ADHD and autism where this history is relevant to adult concerns.
Sessions can be short term or open ended according to the client's needs. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Myke uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in his work. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches ways to test and change those patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and practical anger triggers. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills to help manage intense feelings and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, avoid travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use techniques in their everyday setting so skills can be practised between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which online arrangements best match a client's schedule and practical needs.
