About Me

Welcome –

I’m Richard Simon Stokes

For over 20 years, I’ve worked at the heart of human potential—leading learning and development strategies for some of the UK’s most progressive organisations. As a leadership consultant, coach and talent specialist, I’ve helped individuals at all levels unlock new ways of thinking, overcome performance barriers, and step into their full capabilities.

But I’ve also seen first-hand how deep-rooted beliefs, stress, trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms and self-doubt can quietly limit even the brightest minds. That insight—paired with my own personal journey—led me to train in Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®), a powerful and evidence-based approach that helps people free themselves from the emotional patterns and mental blocks holding them back in life.

Today, I combine my extensive coaching and psychological training with RTT® to support clients who want lasting, positive change—in their mindset, their behaviour, and their lives.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, confidence, habits, past trauma or a sense of stuckness, my role is to guide you gently, safely and effectively towards a new sense of clarity, purpose and freedom.
