Background and approach
Sessions often emphasize small changes that produce quick relief and steady progress. Richard also uses solution-focused methods to help people identify strengths and past successes. Together they map out what’s already working, then build simple plans to expand those wins.
This approach is useful for mood concerns, social anxiety, and struggles with life purpose or midlife transitions. He supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, and issues like guilt, shame, or forgiveness. He is willing to include prayer in sessions when a client requests it.
Sessions are offered in English and arranged to fit practical schedules. The tone in his practice is direct, respectful, and steady, aimed at getting people back to daily life with clearer coping skills.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations.
