I am a Human Givens Practitioner working from the Kingsmoor Clinic in Kingston Bagpuize Oxfordshire, specialising in men’s mental health.
Currently (June 2023), I have the status of a student and am seeing clients with mild anxiety and depression. I cannot charge during this transition between Stage II and Stage III, so I am asking for donations towards room rental and mileage.
I am available at the Kingsmoor clinic from July 20th onwards. If you would like to book a consultation with Richard Pyke, please call or text 07447 809153 or email [email protected]
Richards background
I embarked on my therapeutic journey at the tender age of 18 when I joined a young persons counselling and advice centre in Reading as a dedicated volunteer. That initial experience sparked his passion for helping others and set the course for my future. Subsequently, I volunteered at Oxford Polytechnic’s Student Nightline service, eventually assuming the role of director in 1984.
Driven by a desire to deepen my knowledge and enhance my skills, I pursued a Combined Certificate in Counselling Skills and Theory (CSCT) a decade later. I also began volunteering at my local Samaritans branch. Through this valuable experience, I gained a great deal of understanding and developed my ability to connect empathically with others. Eventually, I was privileged to serve as a deputy director, trainer, and caller care coordinator. Playing a crucial role in training new volunteers. Ensuring they possessed the necessary skills and sensitivity to provide compassionate care to those in distress.
My work as a Human Givens Practitioner is fueled by a genuine desire to help, and I strive to maintain a
compassionate and empathetic approach in all that I do. I am constantly inspired by the positive impact Human Givens Therapy can have on the lives of others!
Having worked for many years in the motor industry, I have got to know men’s mental health problems, in particular around stress, motivation and self-actualisation. Feedback from other therapists has shown that the lack of male therapists is a problem which I can now address.
