Background and approach
He can help when relationships are changing, including when separation or divorce becomes part of the process.

Richard prefers to work with people ready to take active steps toward change rather than remaining in ambiguous stability. Sessions are shaped to each person’s goals. He tailors conversations and a treatment plan to address specific needs, whether that means improving communication, managing anger, or coping with loss.

He encourages clients to be clear about their goals so work can move forward efficiently and practically.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Richard draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear communication and behavior change. One common approach he uses helps people identify patterns in their relationships and practice new ways of relating, which can ease conflict and reduce recurring arguments.Another technique emphasizes problem-solving and goal-focused work to manage anger and stress. This approach breaks bigger issues into manageable steps so clients can try different responses and see what works for them.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adapting the plan as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter, ongoing check-ins and flexible communication between sessions. These options help people keep momentum and practice new skills in real time.
