About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes is a counsellor who supports people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. He also helps with stress, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues. He works with a wide range of life changes, including career pressures, ADHD and difficulties around attachment and communication.
Myke uses straightforward, flexible counselling. Sessions can be short term or open ended depending on what someone needs. He listens and helps people make practical changes as well as come to terms with hard things from the past.
Background and approach
His approach aims to increase awareness and choice so problems stop taking over daily life. He trained and practised with several different approaches and blends them to suit each person. Techniques may include cognitive-behavioural ideas for tackling unhelpful thoughts and behaviour, emotion regulation skills from dialectical behaviour therapy, and client-centred listening that keeps the person’s pace at the centre of the work.
Myke also offers work drawing on attachment ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often shortened to EMDR, is listed among the methods he uses when trauma is a focus. Mindfulness and expressive methods can also be included when helpful.
He is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, uses that credential as BACP, and has eight years of experience. Myke has worked in residential settings, rehab services and education, and brings that practical background into online and remote formats.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work using attachment ideas can help someone notice repeated reactions in relationships and develop new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In video or phone sessions CBT can be used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to practise small experiments and coping strategies between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is a trauma-focused method Myke lists among his approaches and can be adapted for remote work when trauma processing is the priority.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Myke explores your goals and preferences with you and chooses or combines methods that fit. This is a collaborative decision and can change as therapy progresses to match what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual connection, phone sessions suit people who need lower bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera, and messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflective work between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible for people juggling work, family or mobility needs, and let the therapist and client pick the format that best fits each stage of the work.
