Richard Evans-Lacey, MEng (Oxon), UKCP
Experienced and Sensitive Psychotherapist
Psychic Plumbing
Every day people ask us how we are. Most of us give reflex answers like ‘Not bad’ and bounce the question back.
What if the question stayed with you? If you were being completely honest, how would you answer? How would you expect that the questioner would react? In an ideal world, how would you like them to be with you?
When we are struggling with painful problems or keen to live a more enjoyable life it can be helpful to talk with someone who is empathic, knowledgeable, and skillful at facilitating change. This is what I offer.
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with qualifications and experience in NLP, hypnotherapy, and contemporary shamanic approaches. I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and businesses.
Like all psychotherapists I am committed to:
- Honouring the trust you place in me
- Respecting your right to choose for yourself
- Promoting your well-being (I am professionally supervised)
- Avoiding causing you harm (I am insured)
- Treating you fairly
- And practicing what I preach by understanding and caring for myself
Some of the things that make me different are:
Some of the reasons you may choose to work with me are:
- Sessions go deep - often resolving patterns that have been passed on through the family.
- Sessions create rapid change - I coach clients to identify and confront their fears at a pace which is right for them.
- Clients are treated as a team member rather than as a victim who needs saving.
- Energetic rapport enables me to sense what is going on with their energy bodies.
- 90 and 70 minute sessions are significantly longer than the standard 50 minute 'hour'.
- I don't expect you to stick to a regular appointment time so you have more flexibility to choose when to come.

Bio
I first learned about NLP and its related fields in 2001 while working as a management consultant to a large insurance firm. The casual observer may have seen a bright, independent, successful young man but inside I was in turmoil. Though I enjoyed elements of my work I felt trapped and stressed. I experienced mood swings and believed, deep down inside, that I was an inadequate failure – something I tried desperately to cover up from others and myself.
While at a particularly low ebb a colleague recommended someone who they said may be able to help me. I had heard a little about hypnosis and NLP but didn’t think they could help someone with problems as big as mine. Initially my pride held me back and I thought the price was a bit high but came to the conclusion that if he could help me to achieve a fraction of the result we had discussed it would be excellent value.
At the start of the session I was sceptical but open and honest and willing to follow the instructions I was given. When the therapist guided me through Time Line Therapy to clear negative emotions from my memories I was blown away by the result: the shame which had dominated my life since my teens had completely disappeared! With it went lots of the other issues I had been experiencing. I could hardly believe that it was possible to experience so much change so quickly; and, with some help from the therapist, it was me who had done it. It was as if a door had opened: ‘If this is possible, what else is possible?’
This was the first of many significant breakthrough moments in my personal development. Over the years I have worked with many different therapists utilising a variety of therapeutic approaches. Some were atrocious. Others impressed me so much that I became one of their students. One day I hope to be ready to pass my knowledge onto others.
I have gained a lot from my personal psychotherapy and it is a great pleasure to be able to offer the same to others. It is an honour to be invited to work with you and a joy to see you benefit from the experience.
