About me

Hello and welcome to my profile

Having spent 25 years of my career at Senior Management, Director, and Board level, I found there was nothing more personally fulfilling than to assist and witness others exceeding their full potential and to encourage and facilitate positive change.

I enjoy working with individuals and commercial clients to clearly focus and attain their goals and to manage and assist change in an agile environment via (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and (NLP) Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

How can I help you?

My CBT and NLP-based coaching sessions will help you fully understand the barriers you are facing and develop new, more constructive strategies for coping with life’s challenges whether they are emotional or situational.

  • Career

Career Professional Development Sessions (CPD) for clients looking to make changes or enhance their career by overcoming objections and obstacles. Working to attain a healthy work/life balance

  • Mental Health

During my professional career, I became even more interested in Mental Health matters and decided to undertake a personal discovery of these over the past 10 years.

Culminating in my undertaking training in CBTC (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Coaching) under Professor 'Windy Dryden' further enhancing my skill set and enabling me to work cohesively with clients looking to overcome emotional situations such as anxiety and depression.

  • Corporate

I also provide corporate group sessions in the form of small 1 hour workshops to 1/2 day and full days sessions on numerous workplace subjects such as overcoming frustrations and objections, Positive mental attitudes, The Language of Appreciation.

This is a synopsis of my Coaching approach. I welcome you to contact me for an initial no-obligation discussion to see how I can help you.

RECENT TESTIMONIALS

Hi Richard, I just wanted to express my thanks, M did excellent with his exams results today truly excellent and is heading off to University this September. He valued the work you did with him, you skillfully navigated him through an incredible dark time in his life when he battled with depression and anxiety. He still refers to the work you did with him and I feel he will continue to build on the skills he developed with you, I would recommend you to other parents out there whose teenager is struggling the way M did. So I just wanted to acknowledge you and say thank you you helped save my boy and now he is about to start a new adventure.

J. P.s I am happy for you to use this as a testimonial.

Hi Richard. Just wanted to let you know that my week off was well needed and was filled with lots of positive things. I met up with many people and enjoyed. I want to thank you for the help and support you have giving me and also the tools to keep moving forward. I have had several people in the last few weeks say they have seen a massive difference in me and a big part of that is your help. I know the will be ups and downs, but I know I’ll be well equipped to deal with the bumps in the road. I feel a lot more confident in myself and feel that moving forward will be a more all-round positive way of life. Thanks again for pushing me.

Matt.

I highly recommend Richard of Headspace Coaching. After just 2 sessions I was felt calmer, less stressed and ready to cope with my busy lifestyle. I was dubious about cbt now I just wish I’d started sooner! So professional & I felt at ease and comfortable straight away.

Rebecca Schofield

Where to start I went thinking I was just finding work and life balance hard.
3 sessions in and we are working on 2 areas my anxiety and career and I can really see the difference in me and so can others. I really am beginning to enjoy life again.
Never thought I’d be seeking help in my life but so pleased I did.
