About Richard
Richard Wollocombe is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people who are coping with life changes and motivation or confidence difficulties.
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through what is getting in the way of feeling more settled. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than vague promises. Richard adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation so sessions remain straightforward and goal-focused.
Richard has worked with a wide range of related concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care histories, aging and geriatric matters, and challenges linked to chronic illness or cancer. He also helps people managing communication difficulties, control issues, codependency and feelings of emptiness.
People living with autistic spectrum differences or avoidant personality patterns have seen him for help with everyday coping and confidence. He offers support for those dealing with body image, commitment questions, divorce and separation, and the practical impacts of long-term health conditions.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Richard works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One approach helps people break down anxious or depressive thinking into specific patterns to challenge and change unhelpful habits of thought. This can be useful for managing stress, low mood and rumination. Another approach concentrates on building everyday coping skills and confidence, using small, repeatable actions to strengthen motivation and self-esteem over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences and try methods that fit. That collaborative selection may change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing so sessions sit alongside work, family life or medical appointments.
