About

Richard "Richie" Long is a counsellor based in London who runs a private practice in the United Kingdom, supporting people through trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem and moments when they feel stuck.

He works with people from all backgrounds and offers help for behavioural addictions such as online pornography and gambling. He aims to provide a non-judgmental space, noting that he has faced challenges himself and understands what it can feel like to be caught in repeating patterns.

Richie combines talking therapy and CBT and is open to other approaches that clients bring into the room. He aims to be someone clients can trust and to offer direct guidance while maintaining safety in the therapeutic relationship.

He shares that he once spent years trying to fix himself before realising that honesty and letting go of the past were essential steps forward. He believes improvement is possible and encourages people that there is no situation they cannot turn to their advantage.

Richie is highly flexible with appointment times and welcomes requests for ad hoc sessions. He invites people to get in touch from anywhere in the world or any time zone to begin a journey toward greater well-being.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or the transitions life brings, online therapy is a widely used alternative to in-person sessions and can be a practical option for many individuals.

Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change therapists if a different match is needed. For many people, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy help them engage more consistently and get the support they are seeking.
