About Richard
Richard uses several practical methods to help people understand what keeps them stuck and what can change. He draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that can shift mood and behavior. He also uses attachment-based thinking to look at how close relationships shape expectations and reactions.
Sessions are client-centered in tone, meaning Richard listens for each person’s goals and adapts the work to what feels most useful. Mindfulness and existential perspectives may be used to help with meaning, presence, and coping when life feels uncertain. Those tools can be helpful for low mood, sleep problems, and relationship stress.
He commonly helps with family-related stress, parenting and fatherhood questions, caregiver burnout, ADHD-related concerns, and recovery from trauma or abuse. Communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and issues around commitment or abandonment are also areas he addresses.
People who prefer a clear, collaborative style and straightforward strategies may find his approach helpful. To begin, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule according to availability.
