About

David Richardson is Head of Therapies at GHS Clinics in Cheltenham. The clinic describes him as a systemic therapeutic practitioner with a background in family therapy, bringing that lens into pathways for anxiety, low mood, sleep, burnout, relationship strain, adjustment, weight, performance, and lifestyle change. His work sits inside GHS's broader CQC-registered private medical centre, where therapy can coordinate with GP, specialist, movement, dietetic, and longevity-program support when relevant.

What to Know

Signature approach

Richardson works from a systemic and family-therapy frame: symptoms are understood through relationships, roles, family history, work context, and the wider pressures around a person. That makes therapy useful for clients whose health goals are tangled with stress, sleep, food, family dynamics, burnout, or life transition. Sessions run in person at the Cheltenham clinic.

What sets them apart

  • Therapy inside a medical pathway. His team is positioned alongside private GP, diagnostics, weight-management, movement, and dietetic support, helping psychological work connect to the rest of the care plan.
  • Systemic lens. Family and contextual thinking are useful for stress, relationship strain, adjustment, and behavior change.
  • Department leadership. As Head of Therapies, Richardson shapes the talking-therapy arm inside the clinic instead of appearing as a one-off external referral.

Before You Book

  • Care role: Use Richardson for systemic therapy, family-therapy-informed support, stress, mood, relationship, adjustment, and behavior-change work. Medication and psychiatric prescribing route through the GP or specialist panel.
  • Registration check: Public sources confirm the role and therapy background but do not publish UKCP, BACP, or AFT registration for him. Confirm directly if a specific registration body matters to you.
  • Visit format: Therapy is listed for in-person Cheltenham delivery, Monday-Friday. Ask about video options before booking.
  • Pricing: Fees are scoped through discovery; plan for self-pay.
