John is credentialed with the ACA - the Australian Counselling Association - which reflects his standing within the professional community.

Seeking change takes courage, and John aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
Evidence-based Approaches for Online Support
John Rich uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery-focused planning. One approach centers on building coping skills for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, and thought-restructuring strategies that help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed support for people affected by trauma and abuse - creating a paced, sensitive process to address painful memories and reduce their impact on current life. A third emphasis is on addiction support and relapse prevention - identifying triggers, developing healthier routines, and strengthening motivation for change.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. John collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with John is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and fit therapeutic work into a busy life while working with licensed professionals and therapists experienced in these methods.
