The Acorn Counselling

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

— Anais Nin

With over a decade of experience in providing compassionate, person-centered counselling, I have had the privilege of helping many individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve greater well-being.

Whether you are dealing with addiction, anxiety, bereavement, PTSD, depression, or phobias, I am committed to offering you a supportive and non-judgmental space to explore your feelings and find solutions that work for you.

Your path to healing and growth is unique, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

I’m Richard Hodgskinson, and I am pleased that you are taking an active step towards seeking counselling.

A very warm welcome.

I believe that a non-judgmental approach is crucial to effective counselling. As a counsellor, my goal is to provide a safe, empathetic, and supportive space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. I understand that everyone's experiences are unique, and I am here to listen and support you as you navigate through your personal challenges.

My commitment to a non-judgmental approach is deeply rooted in my own life experiences. Like many, I have faced difficult moments and found solace in seeking counselling services. These experiences not only helped me heal but also inspired me to become a counsellor. I understand firsthand the transformative power of having a compassionate and understanding listener.

One quote that resonates deeply with me and reflects my journey is from Anais Nin: “Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.” This quote underscores the importance of creating your own path and finding your own voice, which is something I strive to help my clients achieve. Through counselling, I aim to empower you to create your own world where you can thrive, free from the constraints of judgment and external pressures.

It takes courage to prioritize your mental health, and I’m here to assist you on this important journey.

As a dedicated and experienced counselor, I offer specialized one-on-one counseling services for a variety of mental health challenges including:

Addiction, Anxiety, Bereavement, PTSD, Depression, and Phobias.
