I’ve had a good experience with Richard. The sessions made a noticeable difference, and I started feeling better after just a few of them. He’s easy to talk to and really seems to understand what you’re going through. I’d definitely recommend him if you’re dealing with stress, anxiety or more. More...

Lisa Tryphonos
Therapist
So far I’ve had 5 sessions with Richard and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. After every session I feel so much lighter and immediately notice the effects of the work. I’ve worked with a vast number of modalities over the past 5 years, but none quite like Richards approach - the fact you only have to answer yes/no without diving deeper made the whole process easier and less daunting. I would 100% recommend! More...

Thank you Elle for your review: Elle, much like many of my clients, has experienced therapy with other therapists before. They're often pleasantly surprised by how gentle and straightforward my approach is. What's even better is that there's absolutely no "homework" or effort required between sessions. There's no need to control, manage, or suppress issues—my methods helps clients truly let go of their anxiety, stress, or addiction. I don't utilize CBT or traditional counselling methods. Instead, I employ powerful yet gentle techniques that in over 90% of cases result in significant, lasting change in just about five sessions. I offer free 20 minute chat to see if I'm the right person for you.

Richard put me at ease from the first conversation. He listened to me and ensured I had space and time to work through all my concerns and issues. He was so good I have recommended him to my daughter and others. Thank you Richard I can’t recommend you highly enough More...

It's very hard for anyone to write a review. Especially for people who've been through a hard time. Writing about it in a review makes it real, and most people just want to move forward with their lives. So thank you very much Debbie, for your review and to all the other people who've written reviews. Over the years.

It was a pleasure speaking to Richard about working on my emotions and speech, I’ve come a long way since the first conversation we had, he’s a great bloke and so easy to talk to. All you have to do is just say yes or no. If you feel any worry or emotion Richard is your man to speak to give him a call and he will put you in the right direction. More...
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Thank you so much, Bradley, for your review. It's very hard for people to do reviews about their personal mental health and I really appreciate Bradleys bravery in actually mentioning the words 'emotions' and 'speech'. Inability to Express Emotions Many people have difficulty expressing their emotions. The majority of them tend to be men. The main advantages of working with me is that you don't have to talk about your emotions, when I'm actually 'dealing' with your emotions. All you have to do is answer 'yes' and 'no'. Bradley commented that this made working with me a lot easier than he expected. People who have difficult expressing their emotion. Often have problems with their relationships in that they can't explain If they are in love with someone, or whether they are angry. It causes frustration on your side and misunderstandings from the important people in your life. They may feel you don't love them, or you may feel you don't have a voice to stand up for yourself. Problems With Speech If you are not speaking with confidence and in a clear way people can judge you as being deficient in some way. Very often, people experiencing speech problems like Bradley find it easier to express themselves on paper/text than when they speak. This makes communicating by phone a very stressful and uncomfortable experience. When I help people to talk with more confidence, when they let go of the hesitation in their speech , it changes their lives and opens up their career to greater prospects. Once again, thank you, Bradley, for your review.

Being a 67 year old male, contacting Richard was a huge step for me. However, now I am so glad I did. He immediately put me at ease and over several sessions with him, my mental wellbeing has improved no end. I thoroughly recommend him - just make that call! More...
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
I know it's very hard to make that first call. I've had that first call many, many times over the 30 years I've been helping people. Rob came to see me through a massive need to deal with his personal issues, and at the time of writing this response we had achieved all of his goals. Rob has had two months to assess the long-term benefits of the work we did together, giving him the time to see that the outcomes are stable and long term. Thank you Rob.

I worked with Richard for several sessions . I had unresolved issues over childhood trauma and more recent concerns over adult child alienation, bereavement and alcohol abuse . Richard’s sharply focussed and sensitive technique quickly revealed the source of the first, unravelling its connections with the others , I shall always be grateful for the powerful insights provided by his methods which have given me calmness and seem to have released a new creative energy in me. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody struggling with long term emotional issues. Thankyou Richard. More...

Hi John, thank you for your review, it's always wonderful to receive a review from someone who's worked with me over several sessions. John had been through a very difficult bereavement. It is wonderful to see that the work we did together has reduced his grief and loss to a degree where his creativity can blossom again. We know that your creative mind is suppressed when you're suffering from emotions like grief come up loss and unresolved issues.

Richard helped reduce a laser focused anxiety I had been dealing with for over 12 years in just 3 sessions. The only thing I wish is that I had started a lot sooner.
His sessions are very relaxing and one of the great advantages of working with Richard is that he can deal with my issue with just me answering yes and no. I know a lot of people can't talk about their problems well, with Richard you don't have to, as you can just answer yes and no.

I was quite sceptical about the chances of any form of therapy helping resolve my life long eating issues and yo yo weight loss and gain.
Between 24 and almost 60 my weight yo yo'd between 12.5 and 18.5 stone. I must have lost over 3 stone on at least 10 occasions but never addressed the cause so obsessing about what I ate was integral to whichever slimming club I used.
Richard immediately put me at ease as he has a very calming manner. I wasnt sure what to expect but at the end of the session I felt very relaxed and refreshed. Straight after our first session the change was staggering. My attitude to food has completely transformed and the knock on effects on my life and health in general are huge. I eat what I want, when I want and dont obsess about food all day long, unlike losing weight with a slimming club. My deep-seated issues from childhood that were driving my food issues have gone. I now eat what I want and don't always clear my plate. I eat chocolate or an ice cream when I want. No guilt resulting in bingeing like before.
My overall health is greatly improved, weight is significantly down and life is good.
Booking 5 sessions with Richard is the best investment I have ever made.

After 35 years of smoking at least 40 a day, I have finally succeeded in what I thought was impossible with Richard’s help.
I’ve cracked a month now and even having a drink don’t feel tempted, although I do vape. But nhs recommends vaping as an aid to quitting.
So much healthier, might live to see retirement and saving over £500 a month.
Really feels fantastic to be free of them and Richard really made that possible

Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Hi John. Thank you very much for your review. It's really appreciated. Over the years, I've helped hundreds of people to end their addiction to smoking and drinking. Something we do with Richard Bloom hypnotherapy is that we do it in 2 stages. The first stage is to. deal with the underlying needs to drink and to smoke. Stage 1. Stop the 'need'. This something that is created when you want to control your thoughts, feelings, emotions. With drinking and smoking. Once that person has healed and they no longer 'need' to control their thoughts, feelings and emotions with smoking or drinking. Then and only then we do:- Stage 2, work with the habit and the addiction. Doing it this way dramatically reduces the chances of moving to another addiction to replace the ones we have stopped.

I suffer from depression, mood swings, black cloud on top of me where ever I go. Richard teach me how to love myself and forgive ❤️ myself as with this I had biggest problem I learned from our meetings.
We had 5 sessions and I hope I can afford to do this way until I will be totally happy with myself and with my life. As from the first session with Richard I learned how to control my short temper! What is amazing as I'm 50years old Lady 🙃
and I couldn't tame my temper.
I'm on the great way to be better ME and life is much better with Richard as I couldn't cope anymore myself and stress of every day engulf me.

Richard has a gentle manner he listens to everything you have to say and in my first session I feel he managed to find the reason and the age my insecurities started.
. the techniques are gentle and where totally fascinating and I came away feeling enlightened, empowered and like the world had been lifted from my shoulders .. and that day a friend actually commented on my positivity.. I can’t wait for my next session and I have the confidence a new me will come shining through. I would 100% recommend hypnosis with Richard to anyone who
Is considering it.

I’m so glad I got in contact with Richard. He has helped me more than I thought was possible with the social anxiety that I’ve been living with for years.
He’s professional, very skilled with what he does and and easy to get along with too.
If you’ve got issues that you feel are holding you back I seriously suggest you get in contact with him because he works wonders.

Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Thank you Ian for your review. This was a very brave review from someone who up until the time they saw me, would go into an emotional lockdown when they tried to express themselves in this way. Social anxiety is a very debilitating anxiety, it makes you avoid parties and gatherings and often any situations that involve more than one person. During situations like interviews it can stop you for representing yourself in the way you should. People with social anxiety often don't trust themselves and will defer to other people's decisions even when deep down they don't agree with them. It can cause them to become frustrated and angry with themselves and with the people around them. Because a lot of people with social anxiety don't trust their own thoughts and have trouble making decisions they often stay in a rut rather then move on with their lives. There is also a tendency for people with social anxiety to experience vulnerability to feeling 'guilty' for things they actually haven't done. Consequently, they are easily manipulated. So they stay away from people who might do this to them as they have no power to stop them, this is another aspect of social anxiety . lastly, embarrassment and Low Self Esteem as feeling embarrassed for your mere existence and having low self esteem will also contribute to social anxiety . Once all the above issues have gone the social anxiety disappears and the person can do things, say things and experience life in a completely different way . Contact me for FREE telephone chat /consultation and find out how I can help you with your social anxiety.

I have had multiple sessions with Richard Bloom, and cannot recommend him enough. Richard has helped me with a range of issues that I have never been able to solve through other forms of therapy. Hypnotherapy always seemed quite frightening to me, but Richard always ensured everything was on my terms and never pushed me if I wasn’t ready. He listened to my needs and helped me accordingly. I wholeheartedly recommend him for someone who has been unsuccessful with other therapies, as he has (quite literally), guided me through changing my outlook on life and events that have occurred. Thanks for all of your help Richard! More...

I have struggled with PTSD, anxiety and depression since I was a child and have been to numerous counsellors, psychotherapists and hypnotherapists. Since meeting Richard he has helped me more so than any other professional and I am now 26 years old. I am now able to leave my house and have my head held high rather than being in sheer panic. Richard is a very kind and special man. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone. It was a pleasure meeting him. More...

Working with Richard has been life changing. His caring manner and his ability to help you work through the spaghetti in your head is amazing.
Trusting him is easy as he explains the process of how hypnosis works thoroughly before he takes you down the rocky past and helps you understand that certain experiences are in the past and not needed in the present day.
I highly recommend Richard he is a life saver.

Ryan
Therapist
I have been working with Richard over the last 3 or 4 months. We have had a total of around 6 sessions. Before seeing Richard I was very worried and anxious.
The events of a past relationship and the child from that relationship was deeply affecting me.
Richard has and continues to help me to cope with a slow court case involving this child, and has enabled me to deal with the worries and frustrations and be more at peace with that situation which has in turn helped me with my current relationship and her child.
I believe this is a common situation that happens with many fathers these days and Richard has helped me to navigate a very complicated situation, and I and my new family are feeling a lot happier as a consequence.
I would highly recommend Richard to help people with complex family and court issues.

Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
I worked with Kent Police in their victims and witnesses department for a year and a half helping victims and witnesses through the court system. As a consequence I have an understanding of how courts work and the pressures that people are under due to the very slow legal system that often does not come up with the goods. Even when the legal process has come out in your favour it still leaves a terrible taste in your mouth, and the events that caused you to go to court in the first place often still cause massive trauma that has to be dealt with. Going through a court case such as rape often just brings everything back again as a therapist I have to tidy up the damage that the court process itself has caused. You may be aware that receiving therapy can undermine a victim's case and so deep therapy is often not recommended by the court. Have a chat with me and we can talk through your case and decide the best process to move forward as this could take many months or even years. Your support from me would be ongoing through this long difficult time.

Cannot recommend enough. When I first spoke to Richard I felt mentally stuck. I was initially sceptical (like I am of everything) but had exhausted my options in trying to stop my persistent and chronic feelings of guilt and anxiety that I have carried since I was a child. Two sessions with Richard was all it took to leave me feeling stronger, lighter, more mentally resilient and calm. I cannot thank Richard enough and will use his help whenever I am in need of this level of clarity. Richard also provides an mp3 recording which has also been of great help. Thanks Richard for dramatically improving my quality of life during difficult times! More...

Richard was professional but also down to earth and I felt comfortable the whole time. When I contacted Richard I was suicidal but now I am looking forward to my future. Hypnotherapy isnt reliving the past and dwelling on things trying to figure out the problem like other therapies, Richard worked with my subconscious to simply just find the issues and let them go. He really did all he could to help me and I am very gateful. It is relaxing and effective and I would highly recommend. More...

Thank you very much Flavia for your very kind review. I always do my best to make sure my clients remain calm and relaxed at all times, even when we are working through very emotional events. Nearly all anxiety is linked to some kind of post-traumatic stress. When working with war veterans I was able to go through their trauma with the minimum amount of upset and still enable them to let go of their anxiety.
Rashaun
Therapist
I highly recommend Richard Bloom Hypnotherapy. Within a couple of sessions, he helped me work through my emotional problems. I am in my early 20’s but I have been surprising my feelings from a young age. I was not sure if therapy would be of any help, but Richard explained to me all the process and answered all my questions in a clear way. with a phone call and your first session at £20, it is a good start to work on your problems. More...
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
In his review, Rashaun was open enough to say that I have been working on his suppressed feelings that started from a young age. Young people suppress feelings as a defence measure that is often used to cope with events and situations earlier on in life, in boys/men it is often an expectation of society. Although I can't comment on Rashauns case , Re-connecting people with their ability to be more aware of their own emotions and to be more sensitive to other people's emotions is a wonderful thing, and opens up a whole new world for the client. NOTE; £20 for the first session OFFER is for a limited time only.

Don't be scared of hypnotherapy. I had never had any other type of therapy before working with Richard. You start working on what's causing your issues straight away. He has a very calming and professional manner. I managed to feel so much better about myself all within only 3 sessions. One of which was free I might add. You never feel out of control and end up going places in your head you had never thought had such an impact on you before. Try it, what have you got to loose? More...

Thanks, Ed for your kind feedback. Yes, your right, many people find the thought of hypnotherapy scary. However, in the hypnotherapy I use my clients are in full control at every stage and they remember everything. I can even give them a MP3 summary of the session on request. I normally expect some form of improvement within 3 to 6 one--hour sessions. In Ed's case we were able achieve all his goals in just three. However, this will vary from person to person. Ed received the first session totally FREE. This FREE full one-hour session will be available for a limited time only as I am re-starting my practice after completing a three-year placement with a government funded organisation. Thanks once again Ed for your kind feedback Richard Bloom

Definitely very different, yet effective. I've had normal counseling before but Richard really helped me to find the source of my feelings and effectively helped me to get rid of my grief and anxiety. He can certainly keep a promise

Thanks Miss C For your review. At the end of the session, I ask my clients if they could explain the experience they have just had to others. Invariably they say that they do not have the words. Just relaxed in control and they remember everything. I can even supply an MP3 summery of the session on request. I have helped many people through different types of grief. From losing a loved one to the loss of a limb or the ending of a relationship. Each one is unique. Kind regards Richard Bloom

I haven't been to see Richard yet but I am looking forward to it. He seemed very passionate about his work and he was friendly and spent a lot of time talking to me on the phone and I really respect and like the way he works

Thanks Charlie, I am happy to go through everything on then phone with a client. I often send them a link to a relaxation recording so that they can get used to my voice before they have their first session. I have trained other hypnotherapists and psychologist in hypnosis in the past and am passionate about educating people in any way I can. Kind Regards Richard Bloom,

Richard has helped me through a very bad depression and has continued to support me as I have started a new career. I was given cognitive behavioral therapy by the NHS it did not make much difference to my mental health.
It was only when I received hypnotherapy that I began to fully recover and move forward with my life. I have now retrained and started a new career
Richard is a kind and supportive person who is easy to talk to I would recommend him to anyone .

Thanks Lisa for your review; I am afraid that the mental health services are limited to supplying Cognitive Behavioural Theotherapy this which is based on a set of systems of retraining and managing the person to cope with the problem. They latest hypnotherapy methods works completely differently. With hypnotherapy we track down the cause of the problem and ENABLE you to let it go. No control systems or coping systems are necessary as the goal is nothing less than to give your mind peace. Kind Regards Richard
Hypnotherapy
Very professional and enjoyable experience that has had a positive impact on my behaviors.
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Thanks for your review; Behaviours from anger management to scratching your skin util it bleeds are all things that I have used hypnotherapy successfully to stop. There are normally two parts to a behaviour; the reason why it was created in the first place and the habit that remains after many years. However, hypnotherapy can track down and enable the client to let go of the reason why they NEED the behaviour in the first place. Then then and only then the resulting habits can end. Kind regards Richard

First appointment scheduled. Rating based on the professional and friendliness of the initial conversation.
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Hi Gerry, Thanks for your kind words. I do my best to give all my clients an enjoyable experience. What is interesting is that in hypnotherapy you don’t have to talk about the experience that is causing the problem. Is very good for most men as men on average don’t like talking about their problems. In hypnotherapy we can resolve your problems often without even going into the details of what caused them in the first place. Kind regards Richard
What do you love most about your job?
I see many people with problems my friend and family ask me how I can see people with all these problems year after and not let it get me down.
The reason is 'I GET RESULTS' I change people's lives.
I feel humbled by the fact that people put their lives in my hands and trust me to help them and that is what I do. I help them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I never specifically set out to start my own business. It is just the way that people tend to use a my services as a therapist. However, it does offer me the freedom to give my client extra time when they need it, as I have no manager setting time limits on how long I see each client.
Why should our clients choose you?
After over 30 years of working with hundreds of clients as a therapist. I am more inspired than ever.
During this time, I have helped people get their lives together. I have helped people who are going through terrible times to get through the other side and start a new life.
This is possibly the most rewarding job I could ever imagine and I feel honoured that almost every day when I do my follow up calls I hear how the work we have done together (I work with my clients as a team) has changed their lives.
