Frequently Asked Questions + Fees

It is the very best way to live. It adopts the highest quality lessons from a wide range of ancient philosophies and modern psychologies. Many therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), deal with specific problems and they do this well for some of the time. However, there are many less known but highly effective therapeutic and philosophical approaches that we sometimes need to employ too. A Riverbank® Life comprises a fundamental and lifelong shift in how people live. Much of our work is about showing our clients that there is a place that already exists in their heads that is the best sanctuary they will ever have - and it's permanently with them! 

In a Riverbank® Life Coaching session you can expect to discuss the beliefs you have about yourself, the kind of life you really want to lead, the challenges you have dealt with and are dealing with and strategies for overcoming the obstacles in your way. Your coach will provide guidance, support, and accountability to help you to become the most authentic version of your self. It's not unusual for our clients to close their first session having one or two clear concrete practical things to do, or not do anymore, that day which changes their lives for the better.  Through all of this you will not be judged but you will be asked questions and offered suggestions for potentially better ways of living. We will never tell you what to do.

The length of a Riverbank® Life Coaching programme depends on the individual and their goals and current life circumstances. Some programmes may last a few weeks, while others may last a year or more. Either way we promise you that we won't waste your time. Your time is extremely valuable, as is ours, and we want to get to the practical solutions so you can crack on with your business, relationship or personal life.     

We developed and refined the Riverbank® Life Coaching model over a number of years working with clients from all walks of life. Everything in the model works really well. There is no other coaching or therapeutic model that covers so many areas of a person's life. It's also very practical and straightforward to 'get' and use in everyday life situations. Our clients are often using the techniques discussed in the session within the hour of that session! Finally we and our families use the Riverbank® Life techniques ourselves every day which is a pretty good endorsement!  

Hmm... good question! It's the place where all our conditioning resides.  These are the things we were told when we were younger, rightly and wrongly, plus the things we have learned about fitting in to society as we get older. Most people believe that they are their minds. This isn't true. We find this out very clearly when we learn to meditate. 

We are big fans of meditation. Contrary to lots of courses, podcasts and books meditation does not quieten or shut down the mind.  And it certainly does not get rid of the mind - that's not possible. But meditation is pretty much the only thing that gives us separation from the chaos and triviality of our minds. It is in this space where we occupy the Bank and subsequently everything we do is meditative whether working, eating, sleeping, parenting or taking trips. A strange idea perhaps but true!

We have been doing psychology and coaching with real people like you for over 30 years. We believe practical psychology offers fantastic tools to lead inspirational and wonderful lives.

We are fully insured and hold the most stringent form of enhanced DBS. At any stage you can ask any questions you wish, whether for clarification or because you want or need more information.

You won't see the words 'easy' or 'simple' on this website: we don't believe in quick fixes, cheat codes or life hacks. Riverbank® Life techniques do take time and practice; we make no apology for that because once you have them they stay with you for the rest of your life.  

Finally,  Riverbank® Life is the result of over a decade of development and fine tuning - and it's been used successfully, and happily, with thousands of people from all walks of life.
