Meet The Founder
I’m Nicholas Dob and I am enthusiastic about people being naturally awesome and lovable.
I am a Personal Development Coach, Trauma Therapist, Group Facilitator and Menswork Advocate with a passion for helping clients to heal their emotional, mental & physical health from past wounds which have been negatively impacting their lives.
By experiencing real and raw life challenges and events, my existence culminated in poor health, deep depression and being estranged from my daughters….a point of total despair!
With just a spark of inspiration I undertook a quest to redefine myself, rebuild my life and have more zest. Over several years I immersed myself in an exploration and education of mindset, neuroscience and personal potential to emerge with inner strength, joy and a passion to help others.
"If you want to change your life, you need to change your life. I'm here to show you how—with a comprehensive approach you won't find with any other practitioner."
About The Therapy
Drawing on various modalities, Nicholas Dob engages clients to heal some of their inner wounds and distress that has been residing in their subconscious mind and bodies...for years.
Those significant emotional events can become trapped, and our bodies keep the score . . . not letting them go sometimes for decades.
By utilising TRTP and other modalities, I guide clients to release the charges and triggers associated with the trapped emotions and events and free up their emotional, mental, and physical energy. This can then mean more Zest, improved health, better relationships, and feeling a revitalised sense of self.
Additionally, I tap into my skills and resources, providing clients with a blend of education, expanded awareness, practical tools, useful techniques, applicable concepts, and authentic support.
About TRTP.....
Healing For A Better Way Of Living
The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) is a structured approach that resolves anxiety, depression, PTSD and so many more at their source—without you having to retell your trauma story. You won't need to relive painful experiences or spend time rummaging in your pain and distress. TRTP works directly with your subconscious mind and nervous system to shift you from a state of "I'm not safe" to "It's over, I'm safe now."
Clients often describe the results as life-changing. Physical symptoms like tension and chronic pain reduce. Sleep improves. Relationships strengthen. You gain confidence, clarity, and the energy to actually live your life instead of just managing the symptoms. The fears and insecurities that once kept you stuck transforms into genuine calm and self-trust—giving you back the freedom to be yourself again.
"My desire is to share my knowledge, experience and skills through The Zest Quest Process for my clients to gain inner strength and personal freedom through self-exploration and creating a foundation of empowerment, resilience and joy to live their lives expansively.
Often clients express at the beginning that they don't even know what joy, confidence or fun feel like anymore. Through the Zest Quest Process and freeing up their internal world, clients realise that there are possibilities and opportunities beyond what they thought could happen for them. It's beautiful and an honour to witness my clients experience real growth and benefits.
My clients are diverse people from all walks of life who are suffering from the effects of distress caused by traumatic events, unhealthy relationships and life’s challenges. I help people suffering from Anxiety, Depression, Abuse, Poor Self-Esteem, PTSD, and Relationship Problems. I do this by creating an environment built on safety, trust, compassion and a heartfelt approach.
Working on the premise that physical, emotional and mental wellbeing are interlaced and not separate, I support clients to heal their inner wounding, develop empowerment and resilience and enhance their self-love."
