Initially training as a coach and coaching supervisor Robert went on to train as an NLP Practitioner and hypnotherapist.
He worked for 10 years with the Animas Centre for Coaching, delivering the Certificate in Group Coaching and co-creating the Certificate in Youth Coaching, with Animas Founder Nick Bolton, before becoming a regular trainer on the Diploma in Transformational Coaching course, then Head of Coaching and finally Centre Director.
His main methodology is as a narrative focused coach, using both narrative structures and the body to explore the underlying stories that may keep us stuck or the narratives that are needed to move us forward. He is also influenced by the work of existential coaching.
In supervision his main methodologies are the supervision triangle and 7 eyed model.
