The Plan
LGBT Couple Counselling is operated by a born & bred Hullensian and Yorkshireman: Counsellor Dean Richardson MNCPS (Accred/Reg). Dean was raised and educated in Kingston upon Hull… along with regular of portions of patties ‘n chips, and chip spice (“errr nurrrgh!” 🤣).
After moving down south (boo!) from Hull in the 2000s and establishing the Online Video Counselling Practice for Gay & Lesbian couples, before the 2019 situation hit us in the UK, Dean was looking at plans to establish his counselling service back in Hull. The service would exclusively cater to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and asexual intimate relationships, be centred in Yorkshire, and most likely be located within Alex Carling Training & Therapeutic Services in Hull.
Regrettably, the 2020 crisis necessitated the suspension of plans to expand his in-person counselling practice in Hull. Dean nis keen to reintroduce Counselling for LGBTQ+ Intimate Couples within Yorkshire, centred in Hull, within the next few of years, but until that becomes affordable again, you can reach Counsellor Dean using Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, Google Meet or (the now defunct) Skype video apps…

Finding Hull LGBTQ+ Counselling
Plans to move my Counselling Services into Yorkshire & centred in Hull are currently on hold. While plans were being made, I was looking at one particular location along Prince’s Avenue.
Alex Carling Training & Therapeutic Services in Hull is a quiet, welcoming place that helps guarantee emotional safety and confidentiality for clients who visit the location. The building is very close to essential services (shops, cafes, supermarkets, and car parking) along Prince’s Avenue, HU5 3QA. When doing my research, this looked like a good place to host my counselling services, but…
… I haven’t moved back to Hull just yet, though!
Until I begin moving forward with plans again to open safely in Kingston upon Hull, my counselling for LGBT Relationships continues to be accessible directly from Yorkshire via my Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, Google Meet or (the now defunct) Skype Internet Video services.
… and if you’re concerned that the physical distance from Yorkshire to Hampshire (where Dean is based) might make teleconferencing difficult, be assured that Dean regularly works with clients across the whole of the UK with little-to-no technical interference during weekly sessions. It’s a reliable way to make use of the most effective therapist for your relationship.

💚 Why Dean's Counselling Fees are lower than Other Counselling Services
Bearing in mind that Dean is a fully qualified couples counsellor, having 26 years' experience as a counsellor (incorporating 16 years as a postgraduate systemic relationship counsellor), and practising online for 18 years, the level and experience of Dean's practice is comparable with what some organisations term a "senior couples therapist", except that his fees for his own private practice do not include the same kinds of organisational overheads nor London "weighting" that is passed on to you within the fees of other services.
