Andrew Richardson – Feelbetter Counselling

For thirty years I worked as a professional economist; in Africa (Swaziland) and for the UK Treasury, then in the city and finally as a consultant financial economist. Some may consider this as the perfect training for counselling and psychotherapy. I am now in my early 60s.

I began my journey to this counselling practice at the beginning of the century. During this time, I meditated extensively and was exposed to and studied the Enneagram Personality Typing System. This culminated in intensive Human Givens training in 2001-2003.

Human Givens attracted me because it made sense, it did not require intensive therapy yourself, it was free of the artificial constraints on how counsellors should work and most important, I had a profound sense that I could do this. I could see how it would help many people and that my unconventional background (for a therapist) might actually be an advantage.

I have been counselling full time since 2005.

My practice is based in my home in South Woodford, East London, E18 where I live with my partner and my young daughter. I am a father again, late in life and am enjoying watching Isabella grow with love, support and lots of attention.

I have been suffering from a chronic and slowly progressing MS (multiple sclerosis) for many years. It has reached the stage where walking is tricky and so much of my life is centred in my home and close by. Yet despite this and the near certainty of continuing deterioration, I am pretty content. My capacity to practice my therapy at home is not in any way compromised. And the wellbeing lessons I have can share with my clients are very much there for me as well.

Being close to a number of transport links and with ease of parking I am convenient for clients coming from all over East London, North London, Essex, Hertfordshire and indeed London wide.

The miracle of Skype and email also have allowed me to help people across the world

I administer the London Human Givens Centre, a group of accredited Human Givens practitioners who work privately throughout London.
