About Me

Hi, I'm Richard West. I'm a psychologist and spiritual facilitator catalyzing the return to the source inside. I'm also author of Awakening through Change, a caring father and musician.
Since 2005 I've been on a path of steadily healing from trauma, transmuting blockages and releasing identity with the lower self and densities. It's taken me on quite a wild ride, losing myself in foreign lands, codependent relationships, unplanned parenthood, and break-ups - and ultimately, always finding myself again. Always coming back to alignment.
It's my belief that in the coming years we'll see a marked 'parting of the waves' in society. I see it everywhere I look. I feel deeply in my core that it's my purpose here to facilitate the shift of consciousness for all those choosing the path of self-awareness and love. Not as some self appointed 'mission', but simply as a natural consequence of expressing my authentic self.
I give off a naturally safe, supportive and gently catalytic energy. It's grounding and yet has a mystic quality to it. Think of a tall, yet thick and sturdy tree, connected with earth and the heavens. A safe place for people to explore their deepest wounds and their highest selves. That is what I offer those who work with me.

Richard has a strong and comforting energy to work with. You'll feel safely held as you explore into life's most challenging karmic issues (he's affectionately known to some as 'the bear'!). He also has a greatly loving and empathic supportive energy, able to cut to the chase and locate the energetic source of the problem. With a complimentary career background, plus a great richness of life experience (especially around family relationships), he brings a crafted wisdom to client engagements. He's also effectively developing Starsoul bridges to greatly amplify the realigning nature of his work. So, people feel held and safe, while at the same time able to go deep and unveil their consciousness.

I recently had my first session with Richard. I know therapy and I can honestly say that I have never before been helped by someone who is so totally 'there' for me without invading my space or giving me the feeling of being categorized. He also grasped my situation in a wink, worked with totally non-judgmental compassion, guided without pushing and, best of all, facilitated profound, long sought realizations and change. I can feel these on several deep levels and not just with my mind. Richard meets you where you are and brings you safely a good deal nearer to home.

Richard is a very intuitive facilitator. He was able to quickly identify one of my root issues, self judgment, and work with it so that it doesn't limit or interfere with my potential. It feels like Richard is gentle, empathic and observant enough to bring exactly the right energy to the session.

Richard's presence makes me feel truly safe. It allows me to dive deeply into my issues, knowing I'm being held with great compassion. It feels like there's absolutely nothing that could shock him or make him judgmental, so there's no reason to shy away not matter how ugly the issue might feel. I find it rare and deeply healing.

I really loved the awesome simplicity of Richard's approach. It gave me the confidence to be who I am and break out of certain spiritual identities. He resonated a feeling that I don't need to be more than who I already am. He also called me up on my stuff when I least expected but most needed to hear it. I had a great time chatting and laughing with him and am really looking forward to more sessions.

I undertook a facilitation process with Richard to look at an issue that has troubled me for many years. Richard has the ability to look under the surface of your problems and intuitively put his finger on the much deeper issue. He opened up new pathways and empowered me to solve my issue by taking ownership of it.
