I work with cognitive hypnotherapy
It’s safe, creative and built around you
A powerful approach to personal change
Cognitive Hypnotherapy combines contemporary understanding of the mind with trance-based tools & techniques to create a flexible, solution-focused approach to mental wellbeing.
Highly personalised Treatment
Cognitive hypnotherapy is not a therapy in itself but a highly strategic and personalised approach to treating personal issues. We use techniques from NLP, Timeline reconsolidation therapy, Gestalt, Parts therapy, Transactional Analysis, and traditional hypnosis focus on you.
Evidence-Based Success
In an average of six sessions, 71% reported themselves recovered, compared to 42% using other therapies.
Professional Qualifications and body
I'm qualified in Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy (QCH), trained by Trevor Silvester, who established the Quest Institute in 2001 at Regents University in London and a member of the National council for Hypnotherapy.

I helped a senior animator overcome PTSD following birth trauma ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have a PTSD diagnosis following birth trauma, and the idea of entering any medical sort of environment again filled me with terror. In a short space of time, Rich helped me change the way I looked at my own trauma- effectively finding ways to work with the feelings instead of being drowned out by them. He was kind, patient, organised, creative, and flexible. I left with the tools I needed to help me navigate my fears. Again, I can't thank you enough.
Terms of service.
Under NCH and QCHPA guidelines I am not able to work with people who have ever been diagnosed with the following conditions:
Epilepsy, Psychosis, Bi-Polar Disorder, Scizophrenia, Personality Disorder.
The reason for this are that we do not know the affects of hypnosis on those with these disorders and you safety is always my first priority.
Please note outcomes may vary individually and I cannot guarantee full success. I am however committed to you and our work together.
