Testimonials

"I had never had an NLP session before meeting Richard, so was naturally a little apprehensive. We worked together on a number of areas; I was having trouble deciding if I should keep on working in my current profession. I also seemed to be constantly questioning the decisions I as making which in turn led me to start doubting myself.

We dealt with both areas and I found the session both practical and pertinent. I can honestly say I left knowing exactly what I wanted and didn't want in my job. I also felt 100% happier about life in general than I had in weeks. Richard is great at getting you to see things from a new angle. He has a wise, mature approach but also an infectious sense of humour which does come through. We had a great laugh together during our session and I found myself chuckling out loud on the way home. My spirit was definitely lifted"

“I did a breakthrough session with Richard some months ago now and since then I have not looked back. I had issues about self worth and he was gentle and understanding but strong and supportive as he eased, encouraged and at times cajoled me towards the change I wanted.  When I was seriously outside my comfort zone he didn't let me off the hook but knew exactly how to make it possible for me to stretch into the new in a safe and supported way.

He has a light hearted approach which belies the levels you work at and without getting too heavy and navel gazing you achieve major changes in just a few hours. He was with me every step of the way and I left feeling light hearted and peaceful. Since then I have never doubted my true worth.  It has meant I have been more daring, more determined and very clear about stretching myself to be the very best I can be.  On a practical level I have tripled my monthly income and I've only been in business 8 weeks!  My relationship with my husband is more honest and open and after 13 years that's a great feeling."

"Richard patiently and methodically helped me bring about the changes to my life that I had begun to believe were unattainable. It is a great feeling now to be looking forward with enthusiasm and confidence, unburdened by the baggage that for so long had been holding me back and making my life a misery."
