I came to Richard because I was having serious problems with anger. I’d go from zero to explosive in seconds, blow up, and then feel guilty afterwards.
It was affecting my relationship and I didn’t trust myself not to lose it.
Since working with Richard, those reactions have gone. It’s been weeks now and they haven’t come back. I feel more relaxed around my partner because I know I’m not going to suddenly blow up if I’m stressed, tired, or annoyed.
The reason I never asked for help before is because I could not talks about my emotions. I was completely shut down. I thought, “What’s the point of seeing someone if I can’t even talk about what’s wrong?”
But with Richard, that wasn’t a problem. The way he works meant I didn’t have to talk about my feelings at all at the start. All I had to do was answer yes or no, which I could do. And somehow, through that, things started to shift.
Now I’m actually able to talk about my emotions in a way I haven’t done for years. I’m still getting used to this new version of myself, but it feels good.
I honestly wasn’t sure about doing any of this until I had the free consultation with Richard. After talking to him, I felt relaxed and confident enough to give it a go — and before that, I didn’t want to work with anyone.
If you’re someone who can't to talk about your emotions, and it’s messing up your relationships or your life, contact Richard. I can’t explain exactly how he does what he does, but it works.

Mitchell, thank you — not just for the five stars, but for describing something so many people struggle with and rarely say out loud. A lot of people who come to me aren’t just dealing with anger. They’re dealing with the fear that they can’t talk about what’s going on inside. They feel locked in. They assume therapy won’t work for them because they can’t put their emotions into words, or they shut down the moment someone asks how they feel. That’s why I work the way I do. You don’t have to arrive ready to talk. You don’t have to explain yourself. You don’t have to know what’s going on internally. We start with simple yes/no responses, and that alone is enough to begin shifting the emotional system so that communication becomes possible again — naturally, without pressure. Your experience with anger is also something I see in many different forms. People often think “anger is anger,” but it isn’t. There’s the lightning‑fast explosive anger that goes from zero to detonation. There’s the red, surging anger that builds in the body and erupts for a few minutes. And then there’s the darker, volcanic anger that sits underneath everything for weeks, months, or even years, and bursts out unpredictably. Each type needs a different approach, and that’s why a one‑size‑fits‑all method rarely works. I’m glad you felt the difference so quickly — and even more glad that you now feel safe in your own reactions. The biggest shift you describe — going from being unable to talk about emotions to actually being able to express them — is exactly why I do this work. When someone who has been shut down for years suddenly finds their voice again, everything else in their life starts to change. Thank you again for sharing your experience. It will mean a lot to people who feel the same way you once did but don’t yet believe help is possible.

I truly cannot recommend Richard highly enough. I had struggled with anxiety and low confidence for years, and by the time I reached out to him, I was at a real breaking point.
choosing to work with Richard was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I intentionally waited a few weeks before writing this review because I wanted to be certain that the changes I was feeling were lasting. I can now say, hand on heart, that Richard has helped me break free from overthinking and self-destructive patterns that once felt impossible to escape.
Richard is incredibly easy to talk to. He creates a safe, calm, and comfortable space that opening up felt natural rather than intimidating. I always felt heard, supported, and understood.
If you’re going through a difficult time or struggling, I highly recommend Richard.

Thank you so much, Shakira, for your beautiful review. What makes it especially meaningful is your openness in mentioning anxiety and low confidence. Most people don’t feel able to share that they’ve been in such a difficult place, and it really shows how much stronger and more grounded you’re feeling now. It also says a lot that you waited a few weeks before writing your review, just to make sure your new, anxiety‑free state was stable. That kind of self‑awareness is incredibly powerful. While I can’t speak about Shakira’s journey individually, I can share something important about anxiety in general. Anxiety is driven by the fight‑or‑flight response running in the background. When it’s running at a low level, people often feel hungry all the time. When it’s running at a very high level, the stomach can completely shut down — because the body is trying to send blood to the muscles to help you escape. It’s simply a survival instinct doing its best to protect you. In the work I do, we never suppress, manage, or control anxiety. Instead, we make it unnecessary. We make it redundant. If anxiety has been acting like a crutch — a coping mechanism — then the real work is to help the person heal the “leg.” And when the leg is strong again, they naturally walk away without needing that anxiety anymore. We make a promise never to take away the anxiety away… we make it redundant, unnecessary, not required If you want to know more about ending your anxiety . Please book of free consultation with me, let's see if we're a good fit.

Richard was welcoming and made me feel at ease from the offset. He explained the process and what the collection of sessions would do for the problems I had been facing.
Great for anyone struggling with stress and substance abuse 👍🏻
Once comfortable I really enjoyed the experience and was amazed at how important the subconscious is on our daily behaviour and the choices we make.
I fully recommmend this for anyone who is struggling with what our day to day life throws at us. After a series of sessions I was able to be more in touch with my subconscious and understand what affect the experiences in my life had on my character.

Thank you so much, Tom, for your feedback. It's very hard for someone to talk about the fact that they I had been experiencing an addiction like this . What you’ve shared is incredibly important, because the work I do takes place at the subconscious level — and that’s where around 90–95% of our thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses are generated. When we work at that level, there’s no homework, no forcing habits, and very little willpower involved. The subconscious updates patterns automatically, which is why people often notice shifts in behaviour, cravings, stress responses, and decision‑making without having to “try” in the traditional sense. All of this happens in a calm, safe, and protected environment. Before we begin the deeper therapeutic work, I put multiple layers of emotional protection in place so you feel steady and supported throughout the process. This allows us to address significant issues — such as stress, anxiety, or substance‑related patterns — while keeping you emotionally grounded and comfortable. For anyone reading this who’s curious about how this works, I offer a free consultation so we can talk through your situation and explore whether this approach is right for you.

I’m glad the work we did together helped you reach your goal and feel clearer about the path ahead. Alongside the therapeutic side of what I do, I also bring 30 years of life experience, coaching, and practical guidance into the sessions.

Hearing that this has changed things for the better means a great deal. If anyone reading this is wondering whether this kind of support might help them too, the easiest first step is simply a free consultation. It’s a chance to talk things through, ask questions, and get a feel for the approach with no pressure at all. Thank you again, Julie. It’s been a privilege to work with you.

Richard is a wonderfully insightful man, when I first booked with him I was very unsure and lacked confidence and he's turned all of that around for me. The process that he'll walk you through is simple, but it has put building blocks in place for me to recognise where my feelings and thoughts are coming from in the moment which is invaluable. What before would take me an entire day to work through and get over, I can now recognise almost immediately what it is that has set me off or upset me, it's done magical things for my relationship as well as my friendships and work relationships. I feel more like myself, and this version of myself is the first in my life that I've given grace to rather than wallowing in guilt and shame. It's only been up since our first session, and even since we concluded our regular sessions I've seen the work he's done continue to flourish and manifest in my daily life. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who's nervous about therapy or not sure where to start, Richard is the perfect therapist for someone who is starting their journey, regardless of the stage of life or situation that has led you there.

I’m glad the work helped you feel more confident, more grounded, and more able to understand what’s happening inside you in the moment. Hearing that things that once took a whole day to process now make sense almost straight away is wonderful. And it means a lot to know the changes have supported not just you, but your relationship, your friendships, and your work life too. That’s exactly why I do this — real change should ripple into every part of someone’s life. If anyone reading this is unsure about where to start, or nervous about reaching out, the easiest first step is simply a conversation.

Calming, peaceful & surprising!
Having a few sessions with Richard was something I do not regret at all. Every element of the process from the first consultation to the final session (for now) had a calming approach where I never felt pushed or feared when opening up my vulnerabilities to Richard.
Instead, the process was meaningful & eye-opening - leaving me feeling a huge weight lifted at the end.
Richard uses a ‘yes no’ technique where, as the consumer, you hardly have to speak at all which suited me perfectly. It is so amazing why information can be gathered through only two words being used as answers!
Great experience & I hope to feel & see the internal results as my life progresses & me & my conscience move forwards better connected.

I have struggled silently with anxiety and low self esteem for years and made the decision on the lead up to my wedding to get some help as knew my anxiety would be through the roof and really wanted to enjoy the day and feel amazing. Richard really helped me in just 6 sessions, and despite some very stressful days (due to being burgled which Richard also helped me with) I was able to keep very calm and address situations much more positively. Ultimately on the day of my wedding despite my hair and makeup lady being almost an hour late I stayed completely calm and managed to really enjoy my day. I also felt amazing and was so happy with the way I looked which is simply unheard of for me as very critical of myself. My close friends and family even noticed the change in me!! So thank you Richard. More...

was honoured to receive a review from someone who'd been struggling with anxiety and low self-esteem for a number of years. We only had four weeks before her wedding, and I said to her, "We're going to give it a go and see if we can get you sorted before your wedding, so that you can enjoy your day and not have it destroyed by anxiety or feeling like you're never good enough." Well Nikki, we achieved your goals—congratulations! It's often very hard for people to talk about their anxiety and low self-esteem issues, so I also want to congratulate Nikki for having the strength to write this in a review. I hope this wonderful feedback gives others hope that they don’t have to live with anxiety or low self-esteem forever. All you need to do is book a free call with me to see if I’m the right person to help you move forward with your life.
Jack
I’d highly recommend Richard to anyone struggling as he helped me greatly. I had been really struggling with OCD for a long time and have found that since working with Richard, that need to constantly check things has massively reduced and that constant feeling of anxiety is gone. Even after the first session it felt like a massive weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Richard is also extremely helpful and very easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend. More...
Becky Swallow
My partner has had 5 sessions with Richard, after behaviours that were not conducive to moving forward into marriage (which was booked for 4 months time). My partner had been unable to explain his behaviours and I couldn’t forgive or move forward; I couldn’t understand. After the first session, my partner felt lifted and was able to talk to me about what had been discussed. By the fifth session, he was able to uncover why he had behaved the way he did, how it made him feel and how it had affected our relationship and myself. He was able to do this without feeling heavy guilt but able to acknowledge what had happened and we were able to talk about it openly, which meant that I could understand and empathise. He hadn’t purposely gone out to cause distress. The sessions my partner has had with Richard have meant that, as a couple, we have been able to rebuild trust and have a deeper connection and understanding. We are getting married in 16 days! More...
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Becky’s partner came to see me with a number of unresolved issues that were deeply affecting their relationship. Together, we worked to uncover the root causes of his behaviours—patterns he couldn’t previously explain, which had led to decisions he later deeply regretted. Through our sessions, we were able to identify the underlying motivations behind those actions, helping him understand not just what he did, but why he did it. This clarity allowed him to communicate openly with Becky, without being weighed down by guilt, and instead with accountability and insight. That shift in understanding created space for empathy, healing, and ultimately, reconnection. It’s also clear that Becky and her partner already had a strong foundation of communication. They were able to discuss the outcomes of each session calmly and constructively, which is essential. I only work one-to-one with individuals—never joint sessions—because true change begins within. Occasionally, I’ll hold a brief joint conversation (around 30 minutes) at the start to set the agenda, but the real work happens individually. If you’re simply looking for traditional marriage guidance, I’m not the right person for you. But if you’re ready for deep, meaningful change—work that transforms you as individuals and strengthens your relationship from the inside out—then I’d be happy to support you. May I wish Becky and her partner all the best for their wedding and moving forward with their life together.
Cameron McClean
I was apprehensive going in as I’d never tried therapy and didn’t know what to expect. I came wanting to attack my anxiety and procrastination and, after 6 sessions, I feel confident that I have gained control over my emotions where I didn’t have it before. I’m very thankful for Richard and his time and he’s made it very clear that he is just a message away should I need him. More...
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Thank you, Cameron. I really appreciate your openness—and your courage in stepping into something new. Procrastination is often misunderstood. It’s rarely just about being “lazy” or disorganised. It can show up in one part of your life while quietly sabotaging another. Sometimes it’s driven by fear of failure, feelings of inadequacy, or overwhelm. Other times, it’s simply that the task feels so boring or unstimulating that your brain avoids it—even when it’s important. That’s why, when we work with procrastination, we’re often working with deeper emotional patterns. And what’s remarkable is that you achieved such a powerful shift in just six sessions. You’ve gone from apprehension to confidence, and that’s no small thing. Thank you again for your kind words. Reviews like yours help others realise that change is possible—and often faster than they expect. I’m always here if you need support down the line.

It’s taken me a bit to write this review as I wanted to see how I coped after not seeing Richard for a few weeks. I can hand on heart say this wonderful man has helped me be free of over thinking, self destructive behaviours and many things more.
He takes the time to get to know you and genuinely cares. Nothing is ever rushed with Richard. I always had time to express myself at the beginning, during and after my sessions.
I truly thank him for everything and will be returning if I ever need help in the future

Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Luke, thank you so much for this generous and considered review. I know how hard it can be to put your experience into words—especially when the work is personal, deep, and life-changing. For every review like this, there are many others who simply never get round to it, and that’s perfectly okay. But when someone takes the time, as you did, to wait and reflect—to see if the change truly lasts—it means a great deal. You’ve given others a rare and honest perspective: not just the immediate impact, but the long-term shift. That kind of insight is invaluable. And your words about feeling free from overthinking and self-destructive patterns speak to the heart of what this work is about. I’m grateful for your trust, your openness, and your willingness to share. Reviews like yours help others find the courage to take that first step. Thank you

Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Thank you, Shabul. I really appreciate your words and the trust you placed in the process. When I work with someone, it’s total focus—just you and your goals. Whether I’m working with individuals or couples, my attention is 100% on the person in front of me. No distractions, no divided focus. It’s your time, and nothing else matters. The yes/no technique I use is very different from what most people expect. You don’t have to explain your emotions or talk through your past—but we do work with it, gently and precisely. This approach is especially powerful for people who find it hard to express themselves or feel overwhelmed by traditional therapy. You simply answer yes or no, tell me what you want to change, and we get to work. I’m so glad you feel like a better version of yourself. That’s the real transformation—when you start trusting yourself again and showing up in the world with clarity and calm. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Joe
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...
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Thanks so much, Joe. I’m really glad the sessions made a difference for you. A huge part of my work is helping people end stress and anxiety—not just manage it. Stress drains energy, disrupts sleep, and blocks creativity. Anxiety can hijack your thoughts, affect your eating, and strain relationships. But when we work at the subconscious level, the shift is gentle and deep. You don’t notice it moment by moment—you just realise, at the end of the day, you feel clearer, calmer, and more like yourself. As I often say: people don’t notice clean windows. They notice the view. And when anxiety is no longer clouding everything, life opens up. Thanks again for sharing your experience—it helps others see what’s possible.
Mark
I have been working with Richard for roughly 5therapy sessions he’s helped me with anger relationship issues anxiety and to lead a good life without carrying any negative thoughts and feelings around to get rid of 34years of pain I finally feel free and would highly recommend Richard in helping u achieve your goals I’m continuing with this moving forward
Reply from Richard Bloom Therapist
Mark, thank you so much for your powerful words. It’s been a privilege to walk alongside you through this process. Your courage to face 34 years of pain head-on—and to begin releasing it—is extraordinary. Anger, especially when buried deep for decades, can feel like a monster we’re constantly trying to suppress. It affects everything: our relationships, our work, our sense of self. It makes us frightened of our own reactions, unsure of who we are beneath the surface. We learn to tiptoe around our own emotions, afraid of hurting others, afraid of losing control. But when that anger begins to dissolve—quietly, steadily—you start to notice something profound: trust. Trust in yourself. Trust in your ability to respond rather than react. And with that trust comes a new identity. Not someone who’s suppressing rage, but someone who’s free to connect, to love, to lead, and to live without fear. You’re not just continuing forward—you’re becoming someone you can finally believe in. And that shift ripples outward, changing how your family sees you, how your work flows, and how you show up in the world. Thank you for sharing your journey. It will inspire others who are still carrying their own weight, wondering if change is possible. It is. You’re living proof.

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...

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.

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

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.

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.

I have worked with Richard for 4 sessions up to date, I know I'll need quite a few more but so far definetly I have felt so much better in myself.
When I started therapy, I struggled with sleep, anxiety and a lot of stress due to family situations at home. I have been sleeping better now and my anxiety is definetly getting better. Stress is still there but I know full well that the sessions I plan to carry on will make me feel so much better.

Thank you very much Yasmin for this review. Anxiety and stress can be very draining and leave you unable to cope with life which in turn causes more anxiety and stress.

Ryan

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.

I've never had a therapy session or sessions before so I was very nervous about the whole process. Richard is very easy to talk to and you can tell him anything! The sessions are very effective and it has changed my life! If I could give 10 stars I would! He is also always on time. Like to the minute, literally! Thank you again Richard! More...

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...

This was my first experience with hypnotherapy, and whilst we did not work together for long I was very impressed by the results. Richard seems to know what he is doing and is very flexible in his approach,this is good as obstacles to therapy are removed quickly. More...
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.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
