About Richard
Richard Wollocombe is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports those facing big life changes and the knock-on effects they bring.
He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so talking is matched to what matters most to the individual.
Background and approach
He focuses on clear, practical steps as well as giving space to talk through feelings. Over fourteen years he has helped people manage common emotional problems. He has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image.
He has also supported people coping with illness, long-term pain, adoption and foster care questions, and ageing-related concerns. Richard works with matters like communication problems, codependency, commitment worries and the stress that follows separation or divorce. He can help people who feel empty or struggle with control and avoidance patterns.
The approach is flexible and looks at what will make life easier day to day. People can expect a collaborative relationship where goals are agreed together. He will tailor the conversation and the plan to the person’s pace and priorities.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and he offers steady support through that process.
Approaches that guide online counselling
Richard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach he employs helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns, which can reduce anxiety and low mood by altering reactions to stressful situations. Another strand centres on skills for managing emotions and behaviour - learning small, repeatable coping strategies to handle anger, stress and overwhelming feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then tailor methods to suit the person. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adapted over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need quick check-ins, or want to reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
