It is a High Performance Programme consisting of 20 weekly sessions each lasting 90 minutes. It uses Clinical Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Life Coaching to help you identify and overcome barriers to personal and business growth and success. ‘The Richer Life Programme’ addresses destructive limiting beliefs that create stress and hold you back from being the best you can be. It is essentially a Stress Management, Health and Wellness, Performance Enhancement Programme that helps you achieve your goals easier so you can play and stay at the top of your game and find the way to a richer life.

‘The Richer Life Programme’ is designed for High Achievers who are constantly pushing themselves to do more, be more and achieve more. All our High Achieving Clients are already successful. They either need help because they are stressed and usually struggling with the pressures of their role or realise they could maximise their performance and achieve even more. Our Programme is perfect for High Achieving Business Owners, CEOs, Directors and Senior Managers employed by companies as well as Professional Athletes, Sportspeople and Celebrities who are committed to having a healthy mind, body and business and being the best they can be.

There are many personality traits and attributes that make someone a ‘High Achiever’ but the key ones are that they are ambitious, driven, highly motivated and never stop until they have achieved their goals. You can find out more by joining our free Newsletter List on this website, when you will receive your free copy of ‘The High Achievers Guide to Success’.

Our High Achieving Clients experience many benefits as a result of doing ‘The Richer Life Programme’ and too many to list here. However, to give you an idea, most notice they seriously maximise their time, energy, focus and productivity. This leaves them feeling calmer and more relaxed, more motivated, positive and confident, handling every day stress much easier going forward and feeling totally in control, no longer overwhelmed by the enormity of their workload and goals. As a result, they also feel fitter and healthier in every way.

There are many reasons why this might be. First of all it is important that you are committed and motivated to achieve your goals, as no Therapist or Coach can do this for you – it is a team effort. Secondly, your goals must be practical, plausible and possible. Thirdly, you must be using the right approach for you. At Claire Rich we tailor ‘The Richer Life Programme’ to your specific needs and many factors are taken into account when doing so to ensure that you get the best possible outcome and results. We do not believe in a ‘one size fits all approach’ so you can rest assured you will be getting the best possible therapy for the goals you are working on. Whilst the three core principles are always covered in our programme because they are essential to maximising your performance, wellbeing and success, each client’s therapy is always unique.

We are highly trained and qualified with many years experience of working with High Achievers just like you, which is why we have created ‘The Richer Life Programme’. But more importantly we know just how damaging stress can be from first-hand experience and don’t want anybody else to suffer unnecessarily. Visit our ‘About’ webpage to find out more, but in the meantime you can be confident that we walk our talk with integrity and everything we teach you on our programme, we live, eat and breathe ourselves 365 days per year!

Initially, by reading our website, you will get a feel as to whether ‘The Richer Life Programme’ is something that could help you and that you are interested in doing. The next step is to join our free Newsletter List so you can receive your free copy of ‘The High Achievers Guide to Success’. Once you have done that, if you are still interested then you should contact us to request a copy of your ‘Richer Life Programme Brochure Pack’ which will give you even more information about the programme. By this point you will know if you are a serious contender for our ‘Richer Life Programme’ and should call and book your ‘Free Initial Consultation’. Then we can meet you in person, find out more about how we could help you achieve your goals and see if we are a good fit.

So please contact us on (01245) 444105 when you are ready.

‘The Richer Life Programme’ is a 20 Week High Performance Programme. Each weekly session lasts for 90 minutes.

We created ‘The Richer Life Programme’ after working with High Achieving Clients for many, many years. In our experience, 20 weeks is the best amount of time to complete the course for the majority of clients, allowing them to achieve the results they seek. It also allows sufficient time to cover the three core principles of ‘The Richer Life Programme’: Mind, Diet and Exercise which are essential to creating and maintaining a healthy mind, body and business.

Please contact us on (01245) 444105 to arrange your ‘Free Initial Consultation’. Once we have met you and discussed your goals in more detail, we will let you know if we feel you are a good fit for our programme. At that point you will be invited to book a place on our ‘Richer Life Programme’.

This depends on our availability at the time and how it fits with your requirements. However, we are usually able to start clients on our ‘Richer Life Programme’ within one week of their ‘Free Initial Consultation’ subject to the initial deposit being paid and received.

If you are unable to start your ‘Richer Life Programme’ with us straight away because we do not have a suitable time to offer you, we can put you on our Waiting List.

We see clients from Monday to Friday. Evening appointments are also available, although these times do get booked up quite quickly.

If we do not receive 48 hours’ notice, one session of ‘The Richer Life Programme’ will be lost.

If you have a holiday planned during the time you are doing your ‘Richer Life Programme’ then obviously we will work around it. The way the programme works best is weekly, so we do ask our clients to try to ensure they are able to come each week wherever possible, particularly when they start the programme when it is even more important. However, we do understand that holidays are important and necessary for a good work/life balance so this isn’t a problem.

Yes, you must complete the programme within six months of the contract date.

Yes, the ‘Richer Life Programme’ is a one to one, High Performance Programme and all weekly sessions can be done either in-person at our office or online.  Working online has proven to be equally as effective and maximum benefits and success are still achieved, the same as if you were to come to our office and work with us in-person.  In fact, many of our clients prefer working this way because it saves on travel time and they can work with us regardless of where they are based.

No, unfortunately we cannot. ‘The Richer Life Programme’ is a unique and personal experience, therefore the effects and results do differ from client to client. Like other programmes, therapies and most things in life, we cannot promise anyone a 100% guarantee that they will achieve their goals – there are just too many factors that influence this and we are not in control of all of these as therapy is a two way process, and we are just a guide to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. However, we don’t take on anyone who we believe we cannot help to maximise their performance, wellbeing and success. So if at any point we feel that the therapy is not going as it should, we will address this with you to ensure you stay on track with your programme, so you can achieve the best possible outcome and results based on your unique goals.

We set and define clear goals at your ‘Free Initial Consultation’ so that we can actually measure your progress throughout the course of therapy and know when your specific goals have been achieved successfully. This means that we will both know exactly when you have got from where you are when you start your programme to where you want to be and our work together is complete.

There is no limit to the number of times you can do ‘The Richer Life Programme’. Although if you were to only do it once in your life that would be enough. However, we know that High Achievers are constantly setting themselves new, more challenging goals which automatically put them out of their comfort zone and subject them to stress more often than most people. So as and when they feel they need to, they can return to maximise their performance, wellbeing and success even more. You know that Personal and Professional Development is a lifelong journey, and one on which we never stop learning, so you can think of ‘The Richer Life Programme’ as your Health & Wellbeing Life Insurance Plan. It is one investment you simply cannot afford to ignore if you are serious about maintaining a healthy mind, body and business for the way to a richer life.

You are entitled to cancel your ‘Richer Life Programme’ at any time either before or after you have started work with us. However, please be advised that depending on when you cancel, Termination Fees may apply. We recommend you read our ‘Terms and Conditions’ for further details. Please also note that ‘The Richer Life Programme’ is a 20 week programme, and to achieve the best possible results you will need to complete the entire course.

We will send you a copy of our ‘Terms and Conditions’ in your ‘Richer Life Programme Brochure Pack’ when you request it. You can also find them on our website.

All our clients are guaranteed strict confidentiality, and all client notes and records are kept secure and confidential at all times.
