About Richard
He uses approaches that consider attachment patterns, nervous system responses, and broader life contexts. Sessions are often experiential and include opportunities to talk through problems and to notice bodily sensations. That means slowing down, paying attention to the body, and working with sensations alongside thoughts and feelings.
Richard draws on Somatic Therapy to help people reconnect physical sensations to emotional experience. He also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems ideas to map how past experiences and internal parts shape reactions today. These methods are woven together rather than used in isolation.
With four years of experience, Richard centers a warm, attuned presence in sessions. He focuses on practical steps that support day-to-day functioning while also attending to deeper patterns rooted in history and nervous system activity.
People who seek help for grief, addiction, relationship struggles, parenting stress, LGBT concerns, or life transitions may find his style approachable. He invites collaboration and aims to build on each person’s resilience as work progresses.

How somatic and trauma-focused care translates online
Richard uses Somatic Therapy to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and to practice simple grounding or regulation exercises. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and trauma responses where bodily sensation is part of the problem.Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to identify how past events shape current reactions and to develop safer ways of responding. Internal Family Systems helps people map different internal parts - such as protective parts or vulnerable parts - and learn ways to relate to those parts with care.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which combination of somatic work, trauma-focused techniques, or internal parts exploration to prioritize.
Practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and can make it simpler to follow up between sessions. Confirm the current session options before booking to know how the therapist is offering appointments.
