You've come to the right place if you are looking for help with Anxiety, Depression, Phobias, Relationships, Marital and Couples Relationships, Employee Assistance Programs, Executive Stress, Stress Management, Grief, Workplace Relationships, Mid-Life Transitions, PTSD, Trauma, EMDR, and DNMS. I am in Christchurch and am a Registered Psychologist and Counsellor providing Counselling, and Psychotherapy either in person or via SKYPE video chat (richardholcomb99 is my SKYPE ID).

Welcome ! I hope this website will take some of the mystery out of psychology, and answer a few questions for those seeking help with a personal problem.

My role as a Psychologist is to help anyone who wishes to learn new ways to manage their personal and public life, in order to achieve more happiness, personal growth and satisfaction. To that end, I use a variety of counselling and psychotherapy approaches which are tailored to the needs and preferences of the individual client. (Please see Services Menu).

My client base is generally aged 18 yrs upwards, individuals and couples, and my greatest joy is seeing others learning to manage and balance their lives, both inner (i.e. emotional, thinking) and outer (physical).

Visit the Treasure Box (see Menu) for quotes and Contemplation Seeds, to support, inspire and encourage you in your personal growth journey. Some free documents are available from Free Downloads for self-help. Client comments on my work are available from Services.
