About Richard
Richard Wollocombe is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people facing life changes and related concerns such as motivation and confidence.
Richard aims for practical, plain conversation. Sessions focus on noticing patterns that make anger and frustration worse. He helps people spot triggers, practise calmer responses, and build clearer communication skills. The work is steady and direct, not heavy on jargon.
He also brings experience with attachment and abandonment issues, and with matters such as adoption and foster care, chronic illness and ageing. He is familiar with difficulties around body image, codependency, commitment and control. These are often linked with the stress and mood problems he addresses.
Richard adapts the pace to each person. Early sessions look at what feels most urgent and what changes are realistic. Later sessions focus on practical strategies to reduce snap reactions and to rebuild confidence at work and at home.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow professional standards set by the BACP. He uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Richard describes his work as practical and skill-based. Two common approaches used in sessions are skills training and problem-focused conversation. Skills training teaches specific ways to notice anger building, pause and choose a different response; it suits people wanting tools to manage outbursts and workplace frustration. Problem-focused conversation looks at current situations, identifies unhelpful patterns and tests small changes to behaviour or communication to see what helps most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Richard will work collaboratively to decide which techniques fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Early meetings review what is most pressing and then try methods that feel workable for daily life.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions around work and home commitments and fewer travel constraints. Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm which formats are offered before you book. Registered or accredited professionals can run effective online sessions that help with managing anger, building confidence and reducing stress, while fitting therapy into a regular routine.
