Ever met a therapist who listens to Pantera, rocks a battle vest, and casually drops mental health wisdom between metal gigs?

Meet Richard — a full-on New Zealand bogan, frontline mental health worker, and proud metalhead who’s smashing stereotypes louder than a double kick pedal. 🤘

In this episode, we talk bogan pride, brutal honesty, pirate metal therapy (yes, really), and what it’s like being the most unorthodox therapist in the country.

Richard doesn’t just talk about mental health — he lives it, growls through it, and helps others survive it with black humor and black t-shirts.

So if you’ve ever felt like the world doesn’t get you…
If you’ve ever been called “too much”…
Or if you just want to see what counseling looks like with a Slayer soundtrack—this one's for you.

🔔 Stick around for the wild gig stories, life advice, and emotional gut-punches you didn’t see coming. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll walk away feeling a little more understood.
