About Richard Tyler
I tend to find this section of the website the trickiest to write. I mean, how do I know what you want to know?! I don’t want to write War and Peace here, yet I do want to give you some insight as to who I am.
I am many things in life beyond being a therapist. I am a husband, dad, brother and son. I have a busy life as a motivational speaker, Learning & Development consultant to many organisations and a Leadership trainer and coach. All of that sits with my role as Director of Performance and Possibility at BTFI Ltd - www.btfi.co.uk.
So, I hear you ask, why do you do what you do?
Simply, I am fascinated by the stories that people choose to live out in their lives; the many success stories people have that make them authentic and determined to fully live their potential. I am equally gripped by the stories that human beings live out that inhibit and restrict them. So often they know this, yet continue to live the story, not only as a reflection of their past, but as the basis for their future. Many people’s lives are a puzzle and occasionally they need help to determine where the pieces of that puzzle fit together.
I have deep faith in the incredible potential that exists within us all. Sometimes, we all need some help to tap into this, don’t we? In 2000 I had hit a wall in my life; disillusioned, bored and knowing that there must be something more. I had to get out and find something new. At that time, anything else would do, as long as it wasn’t more of the same! Those close to me thought I was crazy, as I was leaving behind a high profile job that paid me well. However, it wasn’t enough. I seemed to spend a few months continually fighting a cold, throat infection, chest infection…you name it, I had it. This had to be a sign that I needed to shake things up a bit. With a bit of ,’Oh f&*k it’, I left at the end of my contract and went in search of more…I was lucky to meet many amazing people that helped me to discover the next part of my puzzle. This whole experience taught me alot about myself and the decisions I could make if I wanted something enough. It taught me to be authentic and to follow what I believed in. I did and I still do.
Are you any good?!
My clients think so and they are the measure of my success. They refer other people to me, they keep in touch with me to share their progress and, if they have a wobble, they give me a call. The door remains open. If you want to experience what it will be like working with me, then you can get your free hypnosis download of Deepest Relaxation, right now, by simply popping your name and email address in the Newsletter box on this page.
I have worked in the personal development arena for 10 years and trained with many of the big hitters that make up the world of NLP, Hypnotherapy, CBT, EI and other forms of behavioural psychology. I am recognised by ANLP and the Professional Guild of NLP as a Trainer and the Society of NLP as a Practitioner. I am registered with the GHSC and the Hypnotherapy Association as a clinical hypnotherapist. I am therefore bound by their code of conduct. I continually pursue excellence, rigour and new thinking so that I can offer you the best experience and opportunity to develop and change yourself.
I was impressed with Richard's success in dealing with various issues that came up on my phone-in programme, so when he offered to cure my smoking addiction I could hardly say no. I still don't know how he does it but I know that it works!

Four 1 hour sessions with Richard gave me an applause for a public speech, brought me closer to my father and gave me the confidence to form new and greater friendships and relationships. Richard was easy to work with, very funny and motivating. I highly recommend a visit to Richard if you truly want to achieve in your life.

Having experienced treatment from Richard Tyler, I can whole-heartedly recommend it to everyone and anyone! From the moment of first contact, to your first session, through to the end of your course, you know you're in good hands. He's someone that is there to help you get what you want out of life, and does it with great skill, professionalism and humour! My life has had incredibly positive changes happen as a direct result of working with Richard, and yours can too. Everyone should experience this at least once in their lifetime, so allow Richard to do the same for you!

Meeting Richard had a huge influence on my life, he taught me how to listen to what matters and how feeling calm and confident can inspire a greater feeling. My experience of hypnotherapy has been a very happy and pleasant time and I often reflect on my sessions when times are tough. Self-belief is a wonderful thing, Richard taught me to take a step back from situations and how to reflect on scenarios that could have gone better - I'd go as far to say that these are now skills for life and I use these in my daily routine - thank you so much for your help and support!

What else do you do?
I have already explained about BTFI and all that we offer there. From my background as an opera singer and voice coach, I also work with many high profile speakers in business, I write for magazines and have been featured on radio. I spend much time helping people to not only overcome the fear of speaking in public, but to help catapult themselves into being compelling and engaging speakers. The world, now more than ever before, needs people to be telling stories that can seduce, hook and motivate. I work with many many people to help them do just that.
My life is full and I want to ensure that whatever I do, gets real focus, energy and attention. I therefore am very strict about the time I set aside for individual therapy sessions and dedicate 2 days per week only for my clinic. This means that the sessions tend get booked up very quickly. I believe this is the way I can offer the best experience for you with the most powerful results.
Where do you do what you do?
Our wonderful offices are placed right in easy walking distance of both Westbourne and Bournemouth town centre. We have created an inviting and inspiring space for you to visit. Easy access and plenty of parking outside mean that your visit to us will be simple. My therapy chair is ready for you to sink into so that, before we even start, you can begin to melt and relax.
