About
Dr. Richard Mason is a psychological therapist registered and accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a Senior Accredited Personal Development Coach with the European Mentoring & Coaching Council (EMCC). He brings 25 years of clinical experience gained in private practice, the English National Health Service and in Higher Education counselling services.
His career has included work in NHS primary care mental health services in Merseyside and London, and counselling roles at the University of Liverpool and the University of Chester. He has worked with adult clients across the lifespan, from diverse cultural backgrounds and with a range of gender identities.
Dr. Mason works with issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT matters, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger and offers coaching support. He practises from a pluralistic perspective, drawing on psychotherapeutic approaches across the humanistic and medicalised spectrum to match the work to each person’s needs.
Sessions are collaborative - he and the client agree an approach and set expectations for outcomes while recognising that psychological therapy does not guarantee a cure. He takes a pragmatic stance that life will present challenges at different times and that wellbeing is shaped by how people respond to those challenges.
Therapy is often organised in blocks of four sessions with a focused review at every fourth meeting to assess progress and outcomes. That structure aims to support clients to use the insight they gain and retain agency over their next steps - whether that means pausing therapy, changing therapist, or reaching the goals they sought. Work with Dr. Mason can be short, medium or long term and is a working collaboration between two adults in which aspirations and ways forward can be openly discussed.
He is a gay, older male therapist who offers a non-religious, liberal approach to practice.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people ask whether remote therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as conventional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can choose the mode of contact that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which makes it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
Therapists who offer online work are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they feel a different match would be more helpful.
