About Us

Calmer Rooms is a Husband-and-Wife partnership, run by Richard and Debbie Bull.

Debbie has been in the medical industry all her working life qualifying as a podiatrist at university and then moving into the commercial side as a treatment consultant. She hopes to join Calmer rooms full time in the near future.

Richard is a retired police officer, "I had a wonderful career, playing with dogs, driving fast cars and supervising some very dedicated, brave, humble and extremely competent staff. The one thing that gave me so much satisfaction was being a hostage & crisis and kidnap & counter terrorism negotiator. I wanted to carry some of my communication skills into the civilian world on retirement."

On Richard’s retirement from the police, he wanted to be able to assist and help people to recover from the type of incidents he had attended as a police officer. On research he investigated numerous different therapies but wanted to help in a positive manner rather than digging into the trauma people had suffered from in their life.

He found what he considers to be a wonderful therapy that leaves people more positive at the end of each session and that is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

He went on to qualify as a solution focused hypnotherapist and the results that his clients and he have had, have even shocked him at times.

Richard says, "In the early days of training I had that moment, ‘It works it really works’, I was elated seeing my best friend rise out of depression."
