As a counsellor, Dean Richardson specialises in Counselling for Blokes – which is a therapeutic service that supports men who may not recognise counselling as being very useful (at least at first) but who benefit enormously from short, focused sessions.

Sure, most counsellors will work with men in therapy, but Dean actually specialises in the distinctly different needs that men need from counselling (especially those who have never made use of counselling before).

Available in the Havant and Waterlooville (Hampshire) areas, and online video via Secure Internet Video Technology (Skype, Zoom. Teams, etc).
