About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. He works with adults on issues such as addiction, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression and grief, and lists blended family issues among his areas of focus.
He draws on a range of approaches so sessions can look different depending on the concern. Some meetings are conversational and person-centred. Others use cognitive behavioural ideas to tackle patterns of thinking and behaviour. He also uses attachment-focused ideas when relationship histories are part of the problem.
Myke has worked in residential settings supporting looked-after young people and in residential rehab for substance and alcohol misuse. That background informs how he supports people dealing with trauma, complex emotional needs and recovery from addiction.
Practical work in sessions might include looking at communication habits, setting goals, building coping skills for stress or craving, and noticing patterns linked to past relationships. He offers short- or longer-term work according to what the client and he agree will help.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He explains his registration as a BACP member, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions. It can help when loyalty conflicts, trust issues or repeated relationship patterns cause stress in a blended household.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises talking through concerns without pressure. The counsellor listens and reflects so the person can find clearer ways to act and decide what they want in a stepfamily setting.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical for addressing unhelpful thinking, anxiety, low mood and repetitive arguments about routines or parenting roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's situation and preferences. Decisions about methods are made together and can change as the work proceeds.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth if that helps them attend more regularly.
