Evidence-based techniques and online support

Richard uses a range of evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns so they can respond to stress and anxiety with clearer, more effective choices. Another approach emphasises skill-building for managing strong emotions and daily pressures, teaching coping strategies for anger, low mood, and fluctuating motivation. A third emphasis is on problem-solving and planning to navigate life transitions and improve confidence and self-esteem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Richard works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and personal history, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Richard is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
