About Us

Richard Swatton is an experienced psychotherapist having been in private practice since 1994 and holding positions within MIND, St. Thomas’s hospital and the Inner Way consultancy. After a career in music as a jazz pianist and teacher it was during his own lengthy analytic therapy that he decided to become a psychotherapist. After a successful training at The Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London, Richard gained their Diploma and an MA in psychotherapeutic counselling. His approach is integrative, which means that alongside the use of psychodynamic insight and dreams, Richard also employs cognitive and practical methods in his work to help increase its effectiveness. Depression and depressive states, mental anxiety (excessive worry and thinking), and problems in relating to others are his three main areas of expertise. As well as giving seminars and talks on psychology and psychotherapy, Richard has run groups and workshops in self-development. Alongside ongoing meditation and mindfulness practice, Richard continues to enjoy playing music and chess. He is registered with the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy). Richard also offers Couple counselling.
