About Richard

Richard Wollocombe is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also helps those coping with life changes and related concerns such as motivation and confidence.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. His sessions are shaped around what a person brings in that week. He listens first and then tailors a plan together.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical ways to manage feelings, develop useful habits and handle challenging situations. That might include looking at how thoughts, routines and relationships affect day-to-day wellbeing. Richard has worked with a wide range of issues linked to attachment, abandonment and adoption and foster care.

He also has experience supporting people with chronic illness, cancer, body image struggles, and issues around communication and control. He is familiar with concerns connected to autism and avoidant personality patterns. Over time he has helped people address commitment worries, codependency, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions aim to give clear steps to try between meetings, along with time to reflect on what is and is not helping. The style is straightforward and focused on small, achievable change. People meet him for video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

He offers a collaborative approach so clients can decide what works best for them and move at a pace they find comfortable.

Everything Richard lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on simple, practical change. One common approach looks at how thoughts and feelings influence behaviour and helps people try different thinking or action patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on building everyday routines and coping skills to manage stress, anger and the disruption that comes with life changes.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree on methods that fit their concerns, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as different things are tried and evaluated.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful when seeing facial expressions and body language matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want brief daily support, or need to fit sessions around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to work therapy around life commitments.
