Anxiety is exhausting.
It can get easier.
I'm Richard. I help people who can't stop overthinking, or who are caught in panic, find calm again. We work together online, in four sessions, from wherever you are.

What's bringing you here today?
People often tell me their thoughts go round at 3am, panic arrives without warning, everyday things feel like too much, or they've started avoiding what they used to enjoy. None of this means something is wrong with you. Anxiety is your mind trying to protect you and getting stuck on high alert. That pattern can be unwound, and that's the work we do together. Take a look below and choose the one closest to you.
When worry never switches off and your body stays on edge
Anxiety keeps your mind scanning for danger, and it can be retrained to settle.
When life feels like too much and you can’t switch off
Ongoing stress wears you down, and a few simple changes can ease the load.
When fear hits suddenly and you dread the next time
Panic feels frightening but isn’t dangerous, and you can learn to stop it taking over.
When your thoughts go round and round, especially at night
Overthinking is a habit of the mind, and you can learn to interrupt it.
Here's a simple way to start
You don't need to know what's causing your anxiety, and you don't need to prepare anything.

What clients say
With over 150,000 combined plays across my guided sessions, sleep audios, and Mentalfloss tracks, many rated between 4.6 and 5 stars, clients worldwide have used my work to reduce anxiety, improve confidence, boost productivity, and create lasting change. Alongside these results, here’s what people say after working with me directly.
I was seeking a change in my life, my business was at a stand still. I came across Richard Scott while listening to a podcast. I was so interested in his conversation on the subconscious and knew this was the perfect next step for me. I have had 3 sessions and the change in me is remarkable. I have shifted and the momentum for business success, joy, and passion has just exploded. I am so grateful to his process and his passion to help individuals reconnect to self and take charge of their lives. Thank you!
The whole experience was well covered, from the time of our conversation over the phone and Skype to when I flew in for personal sessions. All was very well explained and I completely understood what to expect and how the process works. Straight away I felt a big difference. I’ve used the backup MP3s a couple of times. I would definitely recommend Richard. Definitely! I really got a lot of value from the sessions.
If anyone out there needs help or is struggling with depression or anxiety from negative impacts of life, people, negative thoughts. Low confidence, or needing help with business mindset. I fully recommend this amazing man to help you. One of the best things I ever did was to go see Richard. He has helped me change my entire life and I have never felt happier and so positive about my life and my future. Thanks again Richard, I appreciate everything you've done for me.
Richard was 100% professional, at my initial 25 min consultation, during my sessions, and afterwards. Everything was very well described and disclosed, no surprises. I experienced massive changes in cognitive thinking (I wanted that) and my attitude to my business goals for the future. I haven’t listened to the backup MP3s Richard gave to me as I haven’t felt the need. I have clarity of vision for my future and am confident of this. So much so that I’ve already recommended Richard to many people.
Everything has been really good so far as my symptoms are concerned recently. There is no doubt in my mind and it has gone back to being something I really enjoy. I’ve been thinking quite a lot about being positive about life in general and that I was often too critical of myself, although not openly. I’ll be doing less of that in the future. It is difficult to place value on the sessions I had with you because if the result was a tangible item I could buy, then I would have been willing to pay a very high price. Many Thanks.
I am the first to admit when I started my own business the thought of networking terrified me. My first few events were awkward and uncomfortable and I was extremely anxious. I kept at it though and funnily enough it was one of Richard Scott’s events that made me realise that networking can be fun. I continued with it and found networking events better suited to my style and personality and have gone on to meet some wonderful people and make amazing friends. Take some tips and don’t let the fear get in your way.
