Dr Doherty has helped me significantly over the course of the last couple of years. He is a highly qualified professional, able to help me balance a demanding professional career with personal commitments. I would certainly recommend him.
Alice
Dr Richard was the first professional help I sought that legitimately helped me progress. He creates such a calm, clear and open dialogue that by the end of just the first session I felt safe and comfortable and hopeful for the sessions ahead.
Stephen
Dr Doherty has helped me through several personal issues over the last few years. He provides insightful and actionable advice that I have always found to be highly relevant to the most important issue facing me.

It’s has been a pleasure to work with Rich. He has helped me immensely this past year. My issues can seem trivial to some but Rich very quickly absorbed this and gave me the tools I need to feel better. He is just a really good guy to talk to as well a great therapist. More...

Dr Rich is a wonderful therapist! He helped me a lot and since we started our sessions I can really see a difference in myself. He has plenty of techniques to help me understand my feelings, my threats and find ways to fix all these. I can now much easier identify how I feel and why I feel this way. I feel stronger in my day-life and I feel that I manage to fight and get over many threats that I had from the past. Rich has really a great way of explaining things and giving examples. I really enjoy the sessions with him ! More...

Rich has provided the most tailored, insightful and effective therapy which I believe will have long-lasting benefit. This is due to his extensive experience and training across segments of mental health, his genuine curiosity and problem-solving enthusiasm which is infectious for the patient.
He does not wallow, he does not preach things he wouldn’t believe would work, regardless of theory, but focuses instead on a structured approach to discovery (what), rationale (why), impact mitigation (band aid) whilst working on behavioural change which absolves the need for the mitigation.
If you have a personal challenge which you’re not able to get on top of yourself, I can’t recommend Rich more as a partner to help you help you on that journey.
For reference, areas I have discussed and got effective treatment - anxiety, depression, work-related stress

I work with individuals and couples to understand how their relationships can be improved, by identifying stuck patterns, dealing with individual triggers, building greater trust and improving communication. This is often with close partners, but applies to all types of interpersonal relationships including friends, family and work.
