About Richard
Helping ambitious minds build the internal capacity their vision demands.
I'm a cognitive hypnotherapist working with founders, creators, and leaders who think deeply and feel intensely.
I trained at the Quest Institute — the home of Cognitive Hypnotherapy, founded by Trevor Silvester. I completed both the Diploma and Master Practitioner courses, and have been in practice since 2021.
Before this work, I spent years in strategy, design, and startups. I understand the pace, the pressure, and the perfectionism that comes with building something meaningful. I've felt it myself.
“High performers often struggle to find support that actually fits how their minds work.”
Traditional therapy can feel too slow. Coaching can feel too surface-level. Cognitive hypnotherapy sits somewhere different — going deeper, faster, while staying grounded in what you actually need.
This isn't about fixing you. It's about helping you build the internal capacity to hold what your ambition demands — without burning out, losing yourself, or carrying more than you need to.

How I work
Principles that guide the work.
Depth over quick fixes
Lasting change comes from understanding the root, not just managing symptoms. We go beneath the surface.
Tailored, not templated
Your mind is unique. The work should be too. No scripts, no one-size-fits-all approaches.
Collaborative, not prescriptive
You're the expert on your experience. I bring tools and perspective. Together, we find what works.

If this resonates, I'd love to hear from you. The first step is a conversation to see if we're a good fit.
