Exploring modern thinking about chronic pain
A podcast episode when I was interviewed by Dr Mark Miller and Jamie Slevin.
Mark’s work greatly influences my approach to helping you transform your pain.
You can read more about his work here, including articles and podcasts Mark has appeared on.
Understanding pain creates possibilities
This is why I’m passionate about helping people understand their pain—and why I encourage healthcare professionals to deepen their own understanding.
When pain is truly understood, new possibilities emerge. A wide range of skills and strategies can help people transform both their pain and their life.
But understanding alone isn’t enough. Insight must lead to consistent action: new ways of thinking, moving, and living.
Over 20 years ago, I developed Pain Coaching—an approach that’s now becoming mainstream. Rooted in compassion and collaboration, it offers a spirit and set of principles that guide, support, and empower people to shape a more hopeful and meaningful future.
Pain Coaching gives you the knowledge, skills and know-how to live yourself better

“Thoughtful and insightful – great to have an alternative way of presenting material – encouraging participation of audience.”

“Different. I feel he was saying something important.”
“Interesting speaker and style. Enjoyed the interactive alternative approach and thinking. Relevant to life!”
“I felt that I tried everything and that it had all failed. I felt the pain at all times of the day and night and I couldn’t enjoy anything in life.
As a 47 year old mother of 2 teens, I felt so depressed that I couldn’t see a way out. Everything in my family life revolved around my pain.
Richmond was the first person in this whole journey I believed really understood my pain. He put words on it that I couldn’t and with just 1 session, I already had a completely different approach to my chronic pain.
I realised I had to take this into my own hands.
With the following sessions, Richmond helped me take a proactive and positive approach.
Richmond helped me transform my life. I’m able to do a lot more, I’m not restricting myself for fear of pain… and most importantly, the joy is back!
I’ve been suffering from vulvodyina, the almost constant burning and/or knife sharp pain in the vulva, for as long as I can remember.
My first appointment with Richmond was unforgettable. I had been recommended Richmond by my surgeon and I had no expectations as I thought this would be just another physiotherapist, using the same treatment method that I’ve tried millions of times already. However, I can honestly say that I left that first appointment feeling hopeful for the first time in years.
Richmond is an amazing coach and such an inspirational speaker! In just a few sessions he completely changed the way I look at and understands pain.
His approach is very different from all other physiotherapists I’ve ever met – it was so refreshing and turned out to be the right thing for me. Instead of just focusing on the painful area, Richmond focuses on the whole person and so teaches you to understand your pain; why you feel it, what’s triggering it and how you easily can move your focus from it.
I wish there were more physios like Richmond out there. Vulvodyina is a hell to live with and I wish that all women suffering from it could get as amazing support and treatment as I finally got.
After several years of stubborn residual post-surgery hip-pain, Richmond and his infinite calm, patience and interest helped me to within weeks be able to get out of a chair without any pain. From there it went up and onward, with all pains disappearing within months.
I’m now able to do my yoga, long walks, tap-dancing and lots of running around without any pains at all.
And the best of all – I can sleep through the night without waking up due to the pain! Thank you!
