I’ve been suffering on and off for 20 years or so with anxiety and I’ve been able to keep on top of it through medication for the most part. However, for the last year I’ve been struggling really badly with panic attacks, not wanting to leave the house, not being able to go into work. I was struggling badly to live a normal life. My partner encouraged me to seek professional help and she found Rick’s details online. I was amazed at all the feedback he’d received and how he’d helped to transform other people’s lives for the better. I reached out to Rick and we had a short telephone call. Immediately he put me at ease and I felt very comfortable talking to him. We started a course of therapy and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I could have done. Rick is amazing at what he does and he has taught me techniques that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I am now living a normal life again, I’m not afraid to go out and I’m back at work. I’ve been able to do things that would have been unimaginable 12 months ago and it’s all thanks to Rick.

Rick, thank you so much for everything you have done for me. You have turned my life around. If anyone is seeking help then reach out to Rick, he’s amazing!

I was recommended Rick by a friend who told me “he changed my life” I didn’t quite know what that meant, then I met Rick and I too can say he changed my life. I wouldn’t have what I have know if it wasn’t for Rick. He helped me in so many ways. I can control my anxiety and 99% of the time it’s not there anymore. Anxiety was taking over my life then I met Rick and now I control my anxiety. I have since recommended Rick to many of my friends who also think he’s fantastic. So professional, calm and approachable. Makes you feel safe and comfortable from the start. Rick changed my life and I can honestly say my life would not be what it is now without him. Thank you Rick.

I called Rick after a break down of a relationship. I didn’t see it coming and because of that I wasn’t prepared to comprehend and deal with the hurt and betrayal. Mentally it had a terrible affect and I knew I needed support. I explained what happened, how I wanted to be feeling and that I wanted to focus on rebuilding me beyond being in a relationship. Rick explained how the sessions worked and what to expect.

We unpacked a lot and he helped me understand why I was having the reaction I was, more about who I was and how I show up in the world. Yes, I went for support dealing with the break up but I got help for a whole lot more. Ricks knowledge and commitment to helping his clients grow and heal is brilliant and what sets him apart.

I appreciated the number of sessions needed were set out and I had a timeframe I knew what I was working towards. I plan on having check in sessions with Rick here and there when I feel it’s right, for general life/relationship coaching and chewing the fat sessions.

Rick helped me see my own value that others have been seeing, now I carry myself with confidence and self care to walk from things and people that don’t give as much as they take. He’s the best looking man in the room and with Ricks help you will be the best looking one in the room too!

I would highly recommend if you’re ready to commit to being the best version of you and being truly happy.

I went to Rick just under 2 years ago and he saved my life. I found Rick through a friend during a psychiatric breakdown. Rick taught me to understand my thoughts and what I was going through. I had the 6 week intense therapy sessions but even after the first session I had more control and it got better from there. Rick brought me out of my anxiety and depression, and also worked with me tonstart my own business. I cannot recommend Rick enough to anyone out there who is struggling he is amazing and a life saver. THANKYOU Rick you are a blessing ?

Rick, for me has been my guardian Angel. Why I say this is purely based on what he has done for me and it doesn’t stop there. When I first started my sessions with Rick, I was all over the place. I would say overwhelmed, lost and no sense of purpose or direction. Rick put me at ease very quickly and allowed me to express my emotions and feelings relating to the complexities in my case. He listened!! This was very important to me. I have got a lot out of my sessions. Of course, I still have a wobble here and there.. but mostly I follow his advice and put it into practice to reframe a better outcome to my situation. Rick is kind, supportive and professional. A very knowledgeable man. I would never hesitate to recommend Rick. Whenever I come unstuck, Rick has always offered his time without hesitation, even though my sessions had ended.
We’re all doing our best but sometimes we break and we just need someone with skills to get us back on track again. Everybody needs a Rick in their life.

After struggling to speak about my feelings for a long time and feeling lost, Rick was recommended to me by a friend. The initial meet was relaxed and I felt trust and confidence. After 6 sessions, Rick helped me to get over my issues, look ahead to the future and have a much much better mental state of mind. I would recommend Rick to anybody who feels the same as I did.

I cannot thank Rick enough for helping me through the worst time in my life. I was diagnosed with a personality disorder in 2020 and told that there was no help on the NHS or any waiting list to put me on. I felt like I had no other way out. Then I came across Rick and decided to book onto his intensive 4 week programme. I had 8 sessions with Rick and a lot of emergency calls in between (all included in the price!). I feel that the constant connection with Rick helped me to digest and rearrange my thought process to make me understand myself and my feelings more. His knowledge and sincerity is first class and if I could have known about this sooner, I would have been saved from a lot of life trauma. Rick is a professional and kind person and I would highly recommend him to anyone, as I already have done many times.

I would highly recommend Rick for a variety of problems which affect our mental health. He is easy to deal with, very warm and genuinely cares about each of us as individuals.
He's goes above and beyond other therapists to ensure he gets the results he promises. All we have to do is be ready to work with him.
An Angel in disguise.
Thank you Rick for everything you have done so far for myself and my loved ones.
