Chief Executive Officer
Bob is the Founder of Talking2Minds and has spent many years studying alternative approaches to treating trauma in order to provide help for those who desperately need it. Bob spent over 20 years in hostile and high pressure environments as part of both the Royal Engineers and 22 Special Air Service.
Having spent years suffering from nightmares and flashbacks, Bob was eventually diagnosed with PTSD and began the painful journey along the traditional treatment routes trying to find help. It quickly became apparent that the existing treatment systems could not provide the level of help required and so Bob decided to explore elsewhere for assistance. Bob has been instrumental of the Paradigm Programme which Talking2Minds has now adopted and has since been actively involved in developing the Paradigm Therapeutic Process ™ which are designed specifically to help those suffering from PTSD and other severe stress related conditions.
In 2008 Bob decided to dedicate his time and energy to his life’s purpose of helping those still suffering from PTSD, assisting them back to health and helping them to regain their self worth, self-identity and realise their full potential in life.
Bob is a Trainer of NLP, Hypnosis and a Master Trainer of Paradigm Therapy™.
Bob is an avid climber and enjoys the outdoor life.

Having suffered some of the main presenting problems associated with PTSD himself, when Bruce came across Talking2Minds he felt that the opportunity for him to help himself and then others to get through their own personal battles was too strong to walk away from.
