The Faces Behind Our Support
Rich Wilkinson
Person-Centred Counsellor
Person-centred counselling is my chosen theory in counselling practice. Creating a relationship and environment where the client feels safe to share and grow, offering compassion, empathy and understanding along the journey that we take together.
Specialisms I bring to The Changing Room are: -Trauma, Bereavement, Self-Harm and Sexual and Emotional Abuse gained through my work with high school pupils and Depression, Anxiety, Low Self-Confidence and Stress, gained from general private practice work.
Qualifying in and focussing on purely Person-Centred sessions, means my work is heavily empathic and client lead. We start with where you ARE and work out the rest together. I am deeply passionate about being able to add my skills and experience to The Changing Room for the benefit of our future clients.

Sean Hessey
Integrative Counsellor
After 20 years as a professional football player and experiencing an environment where it was seen as a weakness to be vulnerable, I decided to pursue a career where I can help individuals bring about effective change and enhance their wellbeing.
My background includes supporting clients with stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. As a parent, I bring a compassionate and understanding approach to my work, recognising the challenges of balancing personal, professional, and family responsibilities. I am skilled in helping people develop effective coping strategies, build resilience, and enhance their overall wellbeing and performance.
