What Richard’s About

Richard is the primary provider at Richard Marazita Counselling. He works hard to help others build stronger and healthier connections with Self and with others. He’s dedicated to working with you no matter where you are in this process.

His superpower is intuitive counselling and bringing in a spiritual process if you are into that sort of thing. He has a great deal of experience in the spiritual realms in his previous work before he was a psychotherapist. He also has a great sense of humour and doesn’t mind using it often.

During the pandemic Richard is in the country helping his therapy dog Bea, a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel live her best life. They both have been found roaming the countryside between zoom appointments.

Richard is passionate queer ally, which we especially appreciate. He also has extensive knowledge of Turkish dance music. We have no idea how this happens.
