Practical approaches, delivered online

Richard Whitton draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help clients work through concerns like stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and addictive patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing new, more workable responses, which can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-criticism starts to take over.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to relate differently to thoughts and feelings, building steadiness and awareness in the moment rather than getting pulled into automatic reactions. Motivational Interviewing supports clients in exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal reasons for change, which can be helpful when someone feels stuck, uncertain, or pulled in different directions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Richard collaborates with clients to identify what they want from therapy, what has or has not helped before, and what feels like a good fit for their preferences and goals. Together, they can adjust the focus over time as needs change.

Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure. Clients can meet with Richard through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules and daily life.
