About Russ and his Work

 As a GP he became increasingly interested in the psychological aspects of medical illness (and increasingly disenchanted with writing prescriptions). Ultimately this interest in human psychology led to a career change, and he now  works in two different, yet complementary roles: both as a therapist and as an executive coach. Over the years, he has trained in many types of therapy and coaching, but when he discovered Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, a unique and creative mindfulness-based therapy, he was so deeply impressed that he promptly went to the U.S.A. to train with its creators, Steve Hayes and Kelly Wilson. Since then, he has been back many times, and he is now an internationally-renowned trainer.
