Hello, I’m Richard Oliver Durrant, a dedicated counsellor with nearly a decade of experience. My journey in integrative counselling began at West Cheshire College in the North West of England, where I immersed myself in the art of understanding and supporting others. Integrative counselling allows me to blend various therapeutic approaches while upholding a steadfast commitment to ethical standards. My goal is simple—to provide you with a safe, supportive space where you can explore your challenges and discover your strengths. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients facing a variety of life’s twists and turns. Each journey is unique, and I bring both empathy and a sense of optimism to every session. Whether you’re navigating difficult emotions, seeking clarity, or aiming for personal growth, I’m here to lend a listening ear and collaborate with you on your path forward.
The therapeutic relationship is based on trust and builds through empathic understanding, congruence, honesty, and openness. One-to-one counselling provides a unique relationship that can help you find inner peace.

Book a free 15-minute consultation to discuss strategies for managing anxiety and improving your overall well-being.
The therapeutic relationship is unique, founded on trust and nurtured through empathetic understanding, honesty, and openness. Individual counselling offers a transformative journey towards self-discovery and inner peace. Whether in my therapy rooms in Mold or Chester, or in the tranquil setting of my therapy garden (weather permitting), you'll find a supportive space to explore your challenges and strengths.
Modern life's demands can make it challenging to attend counselling in person. I offer flexible telephone or Zoom counselling sessions to accommodate your schedule and location. These options provide a convenient way to access support without commuting or scheduling conflicts. Whether you choose remote sessions for their comfort and privacy or as a stepping stone to in-person therapy, rest assured you'll receive the same professional support and confidentiality.
It's natural to have felt stress, anxiety, grief, and worry during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2020, there has been a notable rise in both general and social anxiety. Talking through your thoughts and exploring your feelings surrounding anxiety can help. If you'd like to find out ways in which to reduce your anxiety, through small lifestyle or diet changes, why not book in a free 15 minute consultation.
Lack of confidence can impact personal relationships, career opportunities, and social interactions, creating significant barriers. Through integrative counselling, I offer tailored techniques to identify and address root insecurities. Together, we'll challenge negative beliefs and foster a positive self-view. My goal is to equip you with tools to boost confidence, pursue goals, and enhance your quality of life.
This is another area that I have specialised in. I believe we all have the right to be who we truly are, away from fear of judgement. I understand that issues surrounding sexual orientation can still lead to anxiety, social isolation, anger problems, depression and even suicide. I offer a safe and experienced space totally free of any judgement for you to discover your true self, whoever that person may be.
"Richard gave me the confidence I needed to change my life. I am now happy and much more content in being who I really am." David
"When I was given my first appointment I nearly didn't attend because I thought it would be a waste of time! On my first visit with Richard he very skilfully changed that view. I started angry, upset, confused and seeing the world from a negative perspective. I left feeling calm, recognised as a worthwhile human being, positive and no longer angry with everything and everyone. Sunshine, laughter and fun have entered my life and I now feel much more in control. Richard you are a true legend." Mary
