Contact Me

Welcome!

I’m Becky Richens, an award winning Mental Health Nurse Consultant with over 20 years’ experience across mental health, neurodiversity, substance misuse, safeguarding, and workforce development.

My work brings together clinical expertise, national level strategic leadership, and hands on practice with individuals, teams, and organisations. I support services to think differently about complexity, neurodiversity, wellbeing, and care, always with a focus on practical change that improves real outcomes.

I specialise in neuroaffirming and trauma informed approaches, with particular focus on ADHD, autism, emotional regulation, burnout, and mental health across the lifespan. I also have extensive experience in safeguarding across both children and adult services, including complex multi agency work and system level decision making.

At the centre of my work is a simple belief. People do best when they are understood, supported, and not expected to fit systems that were never designed with them in mind.

What People Say

Becky is so knowledgeable and her delivery and approach made the session feel relaxed. - Online Workshop Attendee

I found the session so helpful and have a much better understanding of my daughter’s issues relating to being Autistic and sensitivities which affect her behaviour, and what she’s able to manage doing. - Lunch and Learn Sesssion Attendee

The atmosphere was really supportive and non-judgmental. Becky was an excellent workshop leader. - In Person Workshop

Such an informative and validating workshop. The perfect balance of the science and making it accessible to all. Honestly, the best of these kind of workshops I have ever experienced, and as a former teacher I've been involved in a lot!- Parent Session (Schools)

It’s been so refreshing to meet other neurodivergent people in such a supportive, neuroaffirming environment. I’m really glad I invested in learning more about myself, I highly recommend Becky and the support she provides! - Unmasked Group Member

I can't recommend these sessions enough - Becky immediately makes everyone feel comfortable, and we can all be ourselves with no judgement. I have felt safe and valued in every session. I now have a better understanding of how my brain works and I have taken away strategies to help me in my work and relationships. - Unmasked Group Member
