About Myke
Myke Richardson-Hughes is a counsellor who supports people coping with depression and related issues. He offers practical, down-to-earth sessions for those feeling overwhelmed by loss, relationship trouble, addiction, anxiety or big life changes. Myke aims to help people find clearer choices and small changes that make daily life easier.
He has eight years of practice in a range of settings, including residential rehab and services for young people with social, emotional and learning needs.
Background and approach
He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in his credentials. Myke blends different ways of working to suit each person.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. He uses cognitive behavioural tools to help people test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours. Dialectical skills are used to manage intense emotion and reduce crisis moments.
He also has experience with substance and alcohol misuse, looked-after children and people with neurodivergent profiles such as autism and ADHD. He can adapt sessions for issues like bereavement, intimacy concerns, body image and parenting stress. Sessions can be short term or open ended depending on what someone needs.
Myke aims for straightforward, calm conversations where practical steps and emotional understanding move at a pace the person can manage.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions. In remote sessions this often involves short exercises between meetings and practical worksheets to try out new habits in real situations.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive behaviours. Online formats can teach grounding, distress-tolerance and emotion-regulation techniques that people use when stress peaks.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning means methods can be mixed or changed as therapy progresses.
Online work is flexible and practical. Video calls let people read body language and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, short reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity and practise skills between sessions.
