Counselling
Having just completed my anger management course with Robert, I can truly say that my life has changed.
If anybody else has anger issues and wants to address them, I would highly recommend Roberts services.
What do you love most about your job?
Creating solutions to help clients grow in their seven areas of life and to overcome their problems, whatever they may be.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had a desire to build my own model of human nature, using principles.
• In 2003 I started developing a therapy called Principle Therapy [PT], based on a simple matrix.
• The original matrix in 2003 was based on Stephen Covey’s classic 1989 book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. His premise was that there was a conflict between a persons’ “Character Ethic” and their “Personality Ethic”. I renamed these terms “Principle Thinking” and “Comparative Thinking” and started to create a matrix call the Principle Matrix.
• Tested the principles by starting and operating a new business between 2005-2008, Global Ears limited.
• Between 2003 and 2017 the Principle therapy became Cognitive Principle Therapy and the matrix became the Cognitive Principle Matrix. During that period the CPM developed into a hierarchy of principles based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and comprised 5 levels, 7 rules and 35 principles.
• In 2018 the model changed substantially based on the release of two books, namely, Stephen Porges’ “Clinical Applications of the Polyvagal Theory” and Christian Krommes’ “Humification”. The CPM went from a 5 level model to a 7 level model. There are now 7 levels, 7 rules, 49 principles.
• Between 2018 and 2021 changes were made to the matrix to include ideas from Lisa Feldman’s 2017 book “How Emotions are made” and Iain McGilchrists’ 2011 book “The Master and his Emissary-The Divided brain.” and Daniel Kahneman’s 2011 book “Thinking Fast and Slow”
• The 2022 version of the CPM includes all the changes between 2018 -2021, but more importantly, inclusions from the release of Iain McGilchrists’ book [November, 2021] “The Matter with Things” and Anil Seth’s 2021 book “Being You”
From 2010 to 2021 the evidence is clear that all therapy and coaching should have a greater emphasis on right brain processing and embodiment, rather than on left brain logic. This takes us back to 2003 with Stephen Covey’s 1989 premise that the Personality ethic [left brain-Ego] has taken over from the Character ethic [right brain conscience] in the Western world.
