I have been having hypnotherapy with Richard for long term sleep issues. Little did I know that it would be so life changing. I cannot recommend him highly enough. His calm, reassuring persona would give absolutely anyone confidence. His experience and expertise are all you need. More...

My 18 year old daughter has had a few sessions with Richard. There has been a huge improvement in many areas of my daughter’s life without her even being aware of it.
We are very grateful of Richard’s calm, caring and understanding approach as well as his vast knowledge and experience.

I was recommended Richard by a friend and taking the leap to get help was the best thing I did. Richard was kind, understanding and extremely helpful; providing me with tool to help my stress management. Would recommend him to anyone. More...

22 January 2024

If you are contemplating visiting Richard, then I would say, ‘Go for it!’ He has completely changed my life! I went to see him for chronic pain, chronic high level anxiety and insomnia. I saw him regularly to begin with and he has really helped. I have been to see him with terrible anxiety over upcoming events and I’ve left him feeling completely different, managing the event with no panic, cold sweats or rapid heartbeats! Now I make an appointment only when I feel I need a little extra help.
I had some initial worries, so I wanted to share them and my responses:
A) would I feel happy discussing my life with a man I don’t know? The answer is absolutely yes! No need to be nervous, Richard is a kind, patient, empathetic man who is full of knowledge and skill. You will instantly feel at ease the moment you meet him.
B) is it like the entertainment hypnosis I have seen on the television where I won’t know what I am doing? Absolutely not, you will be exceptionally relaxed, it’s similar to how you feel between being awake and falling asleep but you will know what is happening.
I thoroughly recommend Richard, I’m very grateful to have found him.

A friend recommended Richard very highly as she felt he might be the right person to help me with stress and anxiety that were triggering health problems, and she was absolutely right! I found that with Richard there is a sense of working together towards achievable goals; of being guided and introduced to tools, strategies and exercises to put into practice, which really work. Richard is kind, sensitive, positive, professional and focused, and has a nice sense of humour! Having initially hoped to find help with two particular problems, these were achieved, and so much more. I am immensely grateful. More...

This was my first time with hypnotherapy and I wasn’t disappointed! I am now an ex-smoker thanks to Richard. He really is amazing and I wish I could have hypnotherapy with him every week!

11 December 2023

Richard was referred by a friend who he had helped. Fantastic service! Within 3 hrs split over two sessions I became an ex-smoker! Amazing!

Words can't truely describe how I feel about this gentleman...
After browsing and researching hypnotherapy, I came across Richards profile, unlike some of the others in my area. . he was actually smiling, which instantly drew me to read more..
After speaking to Richard on the telephone, I was sure Id made the right choice and the 1st initial consultation I KNEW I had made the best decision.
In 1 session I felt more positive than I ever had compared to 'state paid' therapists.
Richard has a way of tweaking how you process things and guides you with tips that are easily achievable..
After 4 months I have never felt better and more positive about life.. He truely changed my life and can't ever thank him enough.. I will forever wake up with an orange and be blessed that I am here...
Thank you Richard 🍊🦁

I was struggling to sleep & relax. Richard helped me pin point why and what it was, he helped me relax when I was with him and also taught me strategies in order for me to do this on my own. Brilliant help.

Highly recommend!

Working with Richard from the beginning was fantastic, and it only got better, a very knowledgeable and experienced person in his field of training but also very welcoming to never make you feel uneasy!

Visited Richard for assistance to stop smoking, I had no preconceived idea but can't thank Richard enough. Have not smoked since seeing him.
Richard was very professional and made me feel very relaxed and comfortable throughout the visit.
Huge thank you

22 October 2023

I was given Richards details from a previous client. I had been looking for a hypnotherapist willing to work with me for a long time.

The issue I had was wanting to quit smoking and that I had also studied hypnotherapy myself about 16 years ago.

I had spoken to a lot of therapists and spoke about the conundrum where I was partially qualified.

Most didn’t reply to initial contact or I was put off by their immediate reply that we could give it a go and keep up a therapy regime.

They felt like a cash grab!

Richard was very different and I felt comfortable and confident in him immediately.

We had healthy discussions prior to my treatment. I booked a long session with him in June 2023.

After 1 session I have stopped smoking completely after 31 years!

We are all very different. What works for me may not work for you with an immediate effect.

A lot depends on your real desire to change habits. In fact +50% of this lays with your mindset to stop habits.

Richard is very professional.

I have already given his details to my friends and family.

For me Richard is 10/10 and comes highly recommended

21 October 2023

Working with Richard on a particular phobia of mine was an absolute revelation. He has a great way of making you feel comfortable, that it’s normal for people to have doubts about themselves and then takes you on a journey to resolves those doubts. I’d recommend Richard to anyone who just needs that little bit of help to resolve any internal battles or challenges they face. On top of that, a really interesting and lovely man to talk to. More...

10 October 2023

Richard is an extremely caring kind man who on first meeting made me feel completely comfortable.
Richard has started the process of helping me combat my anxieties and although there is still a little way to go, I feel so much more confident that I can overcome my fears. He has given me strategies to work with and I am already more confident and looking at the world in a much more positive way. More...

28 September 2023

Richard was recommended by a friend. I was sceptical as over the years, I have seen numerous counsellors and therapists to help with my lack of self esteem and stress.

I had no idea how much baggage I was carrying around, or how much it bought me down.

For the first time in my life, I feel lighter and finally happy with who I am.

Richard is kind and intuitive, he has helped me so much and I am truly grateful.

I cannot recommend him enough

After my first session I felt a big difference. He is amazing! More...

Richard successfully helped me give up smoking and my son is currently receiving help for anxiety.
I found him to be a very warm and empathic soul. I quickly felt at ease with him, communication was easy and good, we laughed, I felt understood and appreciated his wisdom.
I'd recommend him.

12 January 2023

I was looking for someone to help my 18 year old son through a tough patch.
I found Richard online and decided to ring him-I’m so glad I did,he has such a lovely way with teenagers and totally understands what they’re going through post Covid.
My son saw him 4 times and from the outset I could see he was incredibly comfortable in Richard’s company so much so I left the room after 10 minutes.
On my return we had a brief chat and was surprised but delighted to hear that the first attempt at hypnotherapy was very positive and also extremely enjoyable.
My son is definitely in a better place and now has life skills and strategies to help him on a daily basis.
Thankyou for your help Richard-we will be back.

Hypnotherapy

I contacted Richard as I was having difficulty sleeping, a problem that has lasted many years. I found Richard to be very understanding and positive, he has a very gentle and kind manner. His advice has proved to be sound and extremely useful. I noticed a difference after only 3 meetings, by Zoom.
I am using his advice and downloads he has sent, I am now sleeping 6 to 7 hours on most nights. We are hopeful that if I persevere then I could build up to 7- 8 hours.
I am very grateful to Richard and am enjoying a much, much better depth of sleep thanks to him.

Hypnotherapy

Richard has been wonderful to work with. I first saw Richard to overcome some issues with my weight, but over the course of our time together I have changed in so many other ways in my life.
Richard is warm, humble, funny and very knowledgable. He really put me at ease from the first session, and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every session, even the ones that were a bit emotional!
Would absolutely recommend Richard.

28 April 2021

Richard is simply a master of his art. I am 68, and have had increasingly poor sleep for over 30 years and finally, after weeks of being awake between 1am and 4am, Richard has helped nail the problems. The problems are within yourself, of course, and Richard reveals those problems and more importantly provides the tools to overcome them. For me, it is early days as yet but immediately my sleep started to improve. If it's taken 30 years to decline one must not expect an instant reversal. It is very easy to engage with Richard and instinctively one is confident of confidentiality and, moreover, sincerity. Richard genuinely wants to help and all one has to do is listen and follow his guidance. Highly recommended. More...

What a lovely person, he made me feel so at ease, and I trusted him completely, so professional, warm and welcoming. He has helped me so much. Thanks again

Hypnotherapy

Richard's hypnotherapy has made such a difference to my life as I was very depressed, could not sleep, anxious and full of self loathing. During these session I have vastly improved and acquired skills to continue improving my life. My family have described it as 'having me back again'. I cannot recommend this enough if you are struggling with anything that affects your life negatively.
I come from a family of traditional academics and Doctors so it took me a while to come to the idea of hypnotherapy as I was quite sceptical. However this has been better for me than traditional therapy.

Hypnotherapy

I went to see Richard so I could finally put down the cigarettes after smoking for 18 years! I had wanted to give up for so long but just didn't have the willpower.
I spent many hours reading and researching before deciding to go down the hypnotherapy route and I am so glad that I did!
I haven't smoked now for 10 days which would have been impossible for me before the hypnotherapy. I have no cravings or urges to light up at all- I remember I was a smoker less and less everyday.
It's the strangest thing knowing this fact and not having any desire whatsoever to smoke!
I don't feel controlled by cigarettes any more and it's the best feeling. I'm so happy and couldn't recommend Richard more, he made me feel very comfortable during the session and confident I had made the right choice in hypnotherapy.
If you're thinking of doing it then don't hesitate, you won't regret it! The best money I have ever spent!

Very professional, approachable and easy to chat to, with ongoing support

3 January 2021

I couldn't recommend Richard enough after my experience with him assisting me in dealing with my anxiety. From the first time I spoke to him on the phone, he put me at ease instantly and did not push boundaries and instead made me feel like we could progress at my own pace in our sessions. At first I was slightly sceptical when I saw that he was a hypnotherapist as I wasn't sure what to expect at all and thought he would try to 'cure' me of my anxiety in a couple of sessions. But Richard teaches you methods and skills in which you can help yourself overcome your anxiety and encourages you to take ownership of continuing to use these methods to help you overcome situations, meaning you can carry these skills with you through life. My partner has already noticed a difference in me and I do too, I have much more confidence and belief in myself and I couldn't have hoped for a better coach to have gotten me through this. Couldn't thank him enough! More...

Q&As

I love helping people change the way they live their lives for the better, achieving their goals becoming healthier and feeling better about many aspects of life. Perhaps the favourite part of my job is receiving testimonial from clients who have made changes they truly did not believe possible until we started to work on them, such as sleeping well for the first time in years, stopping smoking after a lifetime of cigarettes or losing weight and feeling great both inside and out.

I've always been fascinated by the power of the mind. Having studied CBT I then looked into hypnotherapy (having used it to stop smoking myself) and found that it was the most effective of the talking therapies.

I'm experienced, honest and all clients are treated with 100% confidentiality. I have a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy from the London College of Clinical Hypnosis, am a member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (which is vetted by the Professional Standards Authority). This means I have a professional code of conduct that I adhere to.
I am neither the most expensive nor the cheapest hypnotherapist in the area, but I believe you receive excellent value as I allow 90 minutes per session. I hope that you will enjoy working with me, even when looking at some of the more serious conditions and leave my office feeling better each time.

Services

I have years of experience in different businesses and have travelled a great deal. My belief is that when you follow your enthusiasms and inspirations, "work" will become something that you love doing just as much as anything else. It will also bring you rich rewards, in all sorts of ways.

I am a qualified Stress Management Consultant and a happy to see you on an individual or corporate basis, via zoom, Skype or in person.
