Robert is a Chartered Psychologist who pioneered research into stress management, particularly relaxation techniques and “cognitive behavioural” training, during his PhD and subsequent research in the 1980’s. Since then, he has gained an international reputation in the fields of Interpersonal Effectiveness Training, Motivation and Self Esteem Building and Pressure Management. His thirty years of professional practice have included many training and mentoring courses in motivation building, stress management and self-assertiveness. As a result, he has developed specially tailored courses, on a group or individual basis, in order to meet the personal development requirements brought about by the ever-increasing pressure of private and business life.
His content and style of delivery have often attracted media interest, with frequent radio and television appearances. These culminated in an ITV five-programme series -'LIFESKILLS' – which was created out of the comprehensive series of audio training programmes that can now be found on this site.
These audio programmes provide a definitive and practical training resource for the medical and educational professional; those in the commercial world; and those in private life who wish to extend or concentrate their skills of handling a wide variety of commonly occurring life situations.
The author of several books including “The Success Factor”, “Thrive on Stress”, “Anxiety Antidote” and “Assert Yourself!”, Robert is accomplished in creating motivation and participation. His personal presentation, as much as the unique content of his seminars, guarantees his consultancy to be of great practical value to the senior management of his client companies.
Robert is Executive Chairman of Phronim, providing a complete suite of psychological training, assessment, advisory and care services to commercial and industrial employers.
