Testimonials

Real stories from those who’ve transformed their lives through coaching.

I have suffered from OCD since childhood and have tried every type of therapy and so can honestly vouch for Rob being the best I have had. I would recommend using someone like him who has experienced OCD himself – as opposed to a psychotherapist. Rob´ s approach is making huge in-roads into my OCD but also his coaching and teaching of values is improving my quality of life. He is very easy to talk to and I can honestly say I don ´t know where I would be if I hadn´t stumbled across his podcast.

Robert is an excellent coach. He is highly skilled in managing OCD and anxiety and offers practical tips and information that really help to reduce anxiety, stress, and OCD symptoms. He is compassionate and makes an immediate personal connection to give you the trust you need in a coach to help move forward towards your goals and living a life that is consistent with your personal values. I highly recommend Robert as a coach!

Rob is wonderfully knowledgeable and empathetic, and he also has a deep (and lived) understanding of OCD and anxiety. For more than a decade, I’ve seen multiple therapists (with varying therapeutic approaches) for OCD, and Rob is by far the best person I’ve worked with. Within a few short months, Rob has helped me move to the healthiest mental space I’ve been for a long time. I completely recommend Rob to anyone seeking evidence-based, empathetic, and effective support for OCD and/or anxiety :)

I found Rob through his podcast and I could not recommend coaching sessions with him enough! I have been to several therapists, each with different approaches but none are nearly as effective as Rob’s. Rob is compassionate and understanding, and his focus on acceptance and commitment therapy is extremely valuable. The mind can be challenging to navigate sometimes, and Rob has an excellent understanding of the anxious and OCD brain, and is able to explain how to get on with enjoying your life despite these challenges. Thank you Rob for helping me and others, the work that you do is so valuable!

Rob comes across as extremely natural and, as many others have said, it is nice to learn from someone with a somewhat similar experience. I’ve been meeting Rob weekly for the last 2 months and it has been really helpful. I particularly appreciate that he comes with focus for the sessions and gives really good ‘homework’ I can use in the week. I believe he is a good blend of sharing insights while offering reassurance, which is key! Thanks so much Rob!

I’m very grateful to Rob for his terrific service. With his support I have been able to make great progress in managing my OCD. Through the techniques, strategies and knowledge Rob introduces, I feel more balanced and equipped than ever. It’s reassuring for me that I’m working with somebody who uses their personal experience of struggle and hardship combined with their hard work in pursuit of recovery. Passing down the gold on what works and what doesn’t. A reliable, down to earth, lovely fellow that will help you foster a healthier attitude towards yourself and your experience with Anxiety and OCD.Thanks a heap for what you do, Rob. Looking forward to continuing our work together.

A quick review: I’ve seen a few psychologists and they were helpful but for me personally nothing beats talking to someone that has gone through what I have. Robert’s insight into my issues allowed us to connect and he understood how to help. He always came prepared to every session we had with a topic that had me improving and moving forward. Because of this I was able to make great progress and deal with things a lot better. I gladly recommend him.

Ryan Gormley

Having suffered with OCD for a number of years, I tried numerous private therapists, all to no avail. However, since starting coaching sessions with Rob I have finally seen some progress and improvement! The fact that he has experienced OCD himself gives him the empathy and in depth understanding that I found others distinctly lacked. His ACT approach and learning to tune in to your personal values is great, as it helps build solid, positive foundations for recovery. I have always found Rob very easy to talk to, non-judgemental and supportive. I would highly recommend his coaching sessions!

Andrea Griffiths

Amazing to eventually find a native English speaking close to Barcelona. Robert has really been a true inspiration for me and helped me to understand how and where to focus my thoughts. It took me a long time (years!) to actually realize that I have a build up of stress or anxiety or however it should be labeled. Robert helped me to learnt to accept “it” and process “it” in a simple way. I would truly recommend getting in touch with Robert, I think he still offers a free first time consultation, so I mean what do you have to loose?
