About Richard
A qualified life coach, NLP Master Practitioner and student of Human Design - helping people move from quiet stuckness into a life that actually fits.
“I didn't come to this work through theory. I came to it because my own life stopped working, and I had to find another way.
02 — My Story
Honest truth, I always felt a little lost in life. It starts back in 1990 when I didn't think I would get into college. But as faith would have it, I managed to get in by random selection - basically they leave a number of places available and assigned them.
I didn't know what I wanted to do
When you're 18, you really don't know what you want to do in life, but society kind of tells us we have to make a choice. I decided Economics, Philosophy and Spanish - I head the joke about being a philosophical Spanish Economist. Nothing I learnt in college I actually used in my professional life, well Spanish but that comes later in the story.
Many things happened after my degree, including a marriage, a Masters, finding coaching and NLP, separation and a breakdown. Everything I had wanted, I had, and lost, and during all that time I knew there was more. I knew I had something to contribute.
Going through what I guess was a breakdown, or heartbreak changed me. Internally and externally. I was never the same.
I am now at a point in my life where I ready to help people answer that question - IS there more to life than work?
My Approach
I don't work from one script. Coaching gives us structure and honest conversation. NLP gives us tools to actually shift the patterns underneath the surface problem. Reiki gives the nervous system room to settle, so change doesn't have to be forced.
Used together, they cover more ground than any one of them alone - the thinking, the feeling, and the energy behind both.
Above all, I aim to be honest with you, even when it's uncomfortable. Real change rarely comes from being told what you want to hear.
What You Can Expect
- 01
Direct, honest conversation - no scripts, no performance.
- 02
Practical tools you can use immediately between sessions.
- 03
Space to slow down, feel what's actually there, and work with it.
- 04
A pace that respects where you are, not where you "should" be.
03 — Who I Work With
I work with people who look like they have it together — and know, privately, that something's missing. Professionals, parents, and people mid-transition who are ready to stop managing life and start actually living it, on their own terms.
