Testimonials
"My goal was simple: I wanted to be content, enjoy my children, my relationship, my life. My sessions with Richard enabled me to enlighten myself, accept my grief and and realise that I don't need to be Superwoman. That it is OK to take a moment to stop and reflect and that these moments can be integrated into my life without occupying every minute of my thinking. He helped me to develop coping mechanisms for those times when I feel overwhelmed and I have ever since been able to rely on these breathing and relaxation methods. I can think about what I have lost without fearing this feeling and enjoy every moment I spend with my lovely family without constantly thinking 'what if?'. I don't need medication to to make me feel that way. I'm incredibly grateful to Richard for this and the difference it has made to me and my family. It's given me myself back"
"I wanted to write and thank you for all of your help recently. I cannot explain what a difference it has made just to be able to have a good night’s sleep! The breathing and tapping techniques have proved to be very useful on several occasions, especially as I can use them in my office before going into meetings or presentations that would have previously caused my anxiety levels to rise. I still have the notebook by the bed, but have not had to use it for several weeks now… My weekends are also now fully booked for the foreseeable future, giving me my social life back and getting to spend time with my family and friends"
