Hi, my name is Richard Bird, thank you for visiting my page. In these challenging times, it is as important as ever to have self-care and look after our mental wellbeing.
I guess my USP is that in my former career, I have 30 years experience working up to Director level in Investment banking in the City of London. I worked mainly for banks, including Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers.
So if you are looking for a therapist with real world experience of working, along with all the challenges that can bring, I might be the right therapist for you.
I will offer a complimentary introductory meeting, which can help you decide if you wish to proceed with counselling.
I am trained to Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and I also work as a Clinical Supervisor, supporting other Counsellors. I also teach the Counselling Diploma to adult students at an independent college.
Practice description
Currently I am offering face to face sessions from my rooms in Harpenden Herts. I am also offering sessions over Zoom if that's more suitable.
My standard rate is £50 per session, although I offer concessions in certain circumstances.
My first session
I offer a complimentary first session either via phone, video call or face to face where possible. This is for us to get to know each other a little, to see if we might be a good fit to work together, with no commitment. We can talk about your reasons for coming to therapy and work out a way forward together.
