Live a life without pain.
Let’s work together and overcome your challenges to be healthier and happier.

Hello,
I’m Robert.
Every day I help move my clients out of pain, restore flexibility, and improve function in their bodies and lives. Since 2007 I have been using various powerful techniques and approaches tailored to your specific needs.
In our sessions I combine several practices and principles which incorporate both the physical and the emotional, to support each individual to move beyond their suffering and limitations.
Whatever your goals for therapy - mental health, a sense of connection, well-being, trauma resolution, or pain relief - you can achieve them. Together we can unlock potential and renegotiate with the parts of us that run patterns that are simply no longer helpful.
Upcoming events
October 2025 Shrewsbury - The Importance of Symmetry
A weekend workshop presents a wonderful insight into Bowen Therapy that will help you use your existing training more clearly and efficiently.

M. R. Wood:
I came to Robert due to extreme tightness between my shoulder blades, mid back. The tension built up with stress, and even sometimes caused breathlessness. I had been receiving weekly massages on this area of my back, which felt great, but the tension always came back. Robert assessed me and noted tension in my neck and jaw. My jaw has been cracking for years, and I have been grinding at night.
Over 4-6 sessions, first weekly, then every two weeks, Robert worked on my jaw, neck and tailbone. At first it was quite tender, but session to session it felt easier and easier. In the 5th session, I noticed that the tension in my mid back was not there at all…and my jaw was not clicking or cracking. It hasn’t returned.

Quite apart from his skill and knowledge as a practitioner, Robert is also simply a lovely, kind, and genuine person, who just wants to use his abilities and skills to help.
Robert used IEMT to help me address some sleep issues following an extremely emotional event. Despite this being tough at times for me, and even though the whole process was completed online, I felt that Robert was 'holding my hand' every step.

C Nuti:
In the last months, I have been going through the most challenging time of my life. Because of it, I felt scared, in despair, and helpless. Robert has arrived with amazing confidence and preparation. Thanks to his support I managed to clear what was paralyzing me and get to a place where I can see the challenge in front of me and face it. I started to sleep again after years and I am glad I can rely on his support. I have already recommended him to a few friends and I am sure he can get exactly what needs to be shifted in just a few sessions. Thank you again for your passion, your knowledge, and professionalism.

M Cassidy:
Left my latest session with a lovely buzzy feeling going through my whole body and not a single bit of tension anywhere. Awesome!

G Blythe:
Cannot recommend Robert more! I had 2 sessions of IEMT with him earlier this year in relation to issues with anxiety. Even after the first session I felt a amazing sense of calm, hard to explain but felt very clear headed for the first time in years. A few months on and it has definitely spurred a lot of positive change in my life and helped me tackle the root causes of my anxiety. Also had amazing help from Robert with a few running injuries over the years…. owe him one for getting me through my first marathon in 2017!

G Moffat:
I am quite a competitive runner with a number of marathons under my belt. I came to Robert with persistent knee and ankle pain/sensitivity. It was really messing with training for a big upcoming race.
I had been to a running physio, had a range of helpful stretches and was taping regularly for support of the affected joints. All this was helping a bit, though I’d say managing the symptoms.
Robert told me my physio was very experienced, but perhaps to look at things from a whole body view. The treatment focused on a painful area on one side of my neck. I considered that this might be a bit nuts, but for the fact that after each manipulation, I felt tingling and heat in my knee and ankle, and of energy moving in my leg all the way through.
Afterwards, I was told I was ‘even’, and left. I felt more balanced, lighter and with better posture. I was able to get back to my training after 2-3 days of just walking and the pain and sensitivity resolved. Strange but useful stuff!

F Clarke:
I have experienced many kinds of body work, energy techniques and various sorts of vibrational therapies. As a psychotherapist and Sound therapist, I understand that the pain and tightness I had been experiencing in my hip could be explained by a physical situation but had deeper psycho-emotional source.
In just a few minutes, and on two separate occasions utilizing Brain Bargaining and The Bowen Technique, Robert was able to help me to access the unconscious ties and dissolve them. Immediately, my body responded and for the first time in years, I was able to walk with ease and with a sense that all parts are working together! This is thrilling to me because it ripples out to affect my enjoyment of activities that I might previously have resisted.
Robert's kind spirit and genuine desire to help others attain health and vitality permeate the session.
Thank you, Robert!

J Woden:
I am unable to see Robert often, as I live in quite a remote place. However, I always make time to visit when I am in Glasgow. He always finds something. Often I did not even know was a problem, and afterwards my body feels much better for ages. Sometimes it takes a day or to settle changes, but always worth it!
-
R Kraus:
I work in a large garden, and my chores are endless. I had a great therapist who retired which was stressful for me, as they always kept me straight. I started with a new physio, but results were slow and symptoms were persisting.
I was recommended Robert, but was wary as I had to travel quite far. I saw Robert once. He assessed me and found some painful but deeply relieving points around my abdomen…after this the nagging pain in my back, persistent for 3-5 months was gone.Nobody else picked up on this, so I was impressed.

S Nedelec:
Robert has an extensive set of skills that allows him to help people suffering from many ailments, be them physical or emotional.
His ability to identify what the 'real' problem is beneath the surface of symptoms is second to none, very much like his ability to resolve it.
Robert is my first go-to person when I need help with physical problems or when I feel I'm 'stuck' in my ways/life.
I simply cannot recommend him highly enough.

S Macrinici:
After only 2 Bowen procedures my sciatica pain was gone and my state of mind improved drastically. Robert has an amazing capacity to assess the body and feel where is the problem and fix it in a gentle, but firm way. He really cares about the people.
I also recommend his course Importance of Symmetry for Bowen practitioners; Robert's explanations are very detailed and offers a deep understanding of the technique, a proper assessment and how to decide on the treatment strategy.

S Owston:
Recently I had the pleasure of experiencing an IEMT session via Zoom with Robert. I found the process remarkable and quite profound, and now better understand the function of the brain and how it processes information. I enjoyed so much and I fully recommend Robert, definitely a 5* review.

J Brown:
Robert’s Bowen’s technique is a bit strange. Sometimes it is relaxing and other times it is sore. I have been seeing him on and off for years, and whatever type of treatment I get, things usually start feeling better without exercises which I like. I just tell him to put me back together!

B Clarke:
I had been suffering from a restrictive shoulder impingement for 5 months. Since I am a retired nurse, I have access to lots of health professionals and have been receiving steady and consistent physio support from colleagues yet these appointments were making minimal improvement, with some exercises still painful and others uncomfortable.
A friend had recommended Robert at the onset of my symptoms, and I admit, I had not taken the idea seriously, yet I had continued with physio approach until the point that I decided I might as well give it a go!
Robert assessed my problem and noted bicep involvement. He made some tiny and gentle movements below my elbow, around my shoulder and neck and asked me to move my arm. To my surprise I have back all the movement and no pain! My physio friends are happy for me but a bit confused.

K Barrow:
I was made redundant against my choice. I was very angry, and then fed up. My GP said perhaps depressed. My wife was desperate for me to get some kind of help and my kids were a bit worried. I did not want help, and did not want to discuss being retired as it was making me feel worse.
My wife made the appointment for me on the recommendation of her friend. I did not think it could work, but was willing to try anything really.
Robert explained that I did not have to explain everything to him, but we did talk. We used hypnosis, and it was easy and relaxing.
It’s hard to explain, but after the session I felt different. In the following week I no longer cared about my old job, and thought more about time with my family.
I did have a follow up session with Robert, but everything got easier after that first appointment. I am very grateful as are my family. -
Steph L:
2020...quite emotional, and I’m not smoking cigarettes. I’m riding my bike, sometimes way up in the Ayrshire hills. Every time I ride a hill, any steep hill, Glasgow, Kilmarnock, Barrhead damns.... I’m halfway up that hill, and it bites...” your legs are like pistons” that’s you... it’s what you said, when my lungs were begging you for more air.
You said that in our hypnosis, in that wee room, with a wet Buchanan street...in the background. Loving life and my lungs, thanks to you, happy new year, to you and the people close to you. Love is all we need.

M Brennan:
I am a student nurse. I came to Robert looking for help with a needle phobia. I was so embarrassed about it, because obviously, in my career dealing with needles in an everyday part of the job!
I just listened to Robert, followed some protocols. We found some early fears and some key moments connected to this fear. After working with these memories and emotions, I felt much better and confident. We tested the phobia had gone, and I can say with confidence, I am unflustered at work, IV or injection, it does not bother me. NHS did offer me support prior to this and it mostly involved breathing techniques and facing my fear. after this work it was gone, rather than just managed. This was a single session.

J Stewart:
I came to see Robert because I had failed my driving test four times. The pressure of the practical exam and the feeling of scrutiny under test conditions were really affecting me badly…I just couldn’t hold it together!
Robert focused on all the ‘bits’ that bothered me the most, and using hypnosis and EFT tapping, he helped me feel really familiar and confident. My exam was the next morning and I passed with 2 minors. I was made up! It was easy and I wish I had done it earlier.
-
J Morrison:
I was looking for a hypnotist to help me get over the ‘yips’ I had developed in my golf game. It had been going on for months. I was fed up, embarrassed to play my pals, my wife was sick of hearing about it, and was ready to toss my clubs in the bin!
The session with Robert was very relaxing, focused and different. Afterwards, I immediately felt fresher, and booked a follow up session for a fortnight upon returning from a boy’s golf holiday in Spain. However, I did not need my follow up, since my golf was great during that trip, and I beat both my friends, so I knew the bad spell was over! No idea how this worked, but delighted to be back on form.

C Mallalieu:
I have had a number of sessions with Robert, and he used IEMT and hypnosis with me, The issues which came up in the sessions were handled very professionally, empathetically, and with a great regard to my own comfort and safety.
Robert is a very skilled practitioner, and I found him a joy to work with. I was unsure how working on zoom would be, but it worked very powerfully, and I am very grateful to him for his help and support in resolving some quite difficult and long term issues. i would have no hesitation in recommending Robert, and his expertise in other modalities helps him to fully engage and engage with clients in a very clear and focused manner. Thank you once again.
