Robert Russell PhD

Robert Russell is the founder of motivational training company MindsetSynergy and a member of the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council. He gained a Diploma in Hypnotherapy in 1992 and started practising as a clinical therapist immediately after his graduation.

In February 1995, Robert was awarded an honorary PhD in Social Sciences. He completed Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) training in September 1995, an excellent intervention for traumas and phobias.

Presently Robert trains for the Training Alliance Group, teaching students to become therapists and has a personal development practice at The Hale Clinic, where he imparts life skills and coping strategies on a one-to-one basis. Many of his clients are well known public and sporting personalities.

He is also employed by Flight Centre UK Ltd to undertake motivational training and business goal development for their staff in the various brands within that organisation.

A further feature of Robert’s work is running stress management and personal development courses, undertaken both in this country and overseas. These provide effective tools for dealing with self-limiting emotional and mental barriers such as lack of motivation, low confidence, negativity and anger. This results in improved competence and efficiency in both the work place and the personal environment.

Robert has always been interested in personal development and the effect that excessive levels of stress can have on one's professional and personal life. Another of his specialties is sports motivation, where amateur and professional sports men and women learn the power of positive visualisation to help achieve their goals.
