About Richard
Richard Wollocombe is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or low mood. He also supports those coping with big life changes and who want to build self-esteem and confidence.
Richard keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then shapes conversations to match what the person needs. He aims to make therapy practical so people can use what they talk about between sessions.
Background and approach
Over his career he has worked with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues and challenges connected to adoption and foster care. He has also supported people facing chronic illness, cancer, ageing concerns, and difficulties with body image or codependency. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that cause distress and finding manageable ways to change them.
Richard adapts pace and focus depending on the person’s goals and current situation. He avoids jargon and explains techniques in simple terms. People can expect honest, calm conversations where the counsellor treats them with sensitivity and respect.
The aim is to help someone move toward a more steady, more satisfying everyday life. Taking that first step can feel hard, and he offers steady support through the process.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist listens to your situation, goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation and are useful when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to book therapy around work, caregiving or mobility limits while keeping the focus on making steady, useful changes.
