Russell established his practice - Synergy Within after moving to Sydney in 2002. More recently he has moved his practice to Adelaide, South Australia where he is now raising the profile of Hypnotherapy, NLP, HypnoBirthing and other Psychotherapy modalities. He gained his passion for helping others achieve what they want in life after realising that he wanted more from a career than the corporate world was offering. Something was missing, and it was that internal feeling of satisfaction that can only come from knowing that you have helped others achieve.

He trained as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner with the Australian College of Hypnotherapy in Sydney, and undertook further study to become a certified HypnoBirthing practitioner with the HypnoBirthing Institute in America. He is a clinical member of both the Australian Hypnotherapy Association and the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association, both of which are highly respected internationally recognised organisations.

On a day to day basis he helps people improve their lives over a varied and wide range of issues. Whether it is a smoker who wants to quit once and for all, someone who has a fear or phobia, or even a sports enthusiast who has lost the competitive edge, he is able to help them move towards their goals.

As a trained fertility consultant, Russell is able to guide couples through their journey of becoming pregnant, whether they are letting nature take its course, or utilising assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF. The mind has a major influence in the body when it comes to falling pregnant, therefore understanding how the mind works, and how to get it working for you should be a major consideration for those who are experiencing “fertility issues”.

As a HypnoBirthing certified educator, Russell has had the pleasure of being able to assist many mothers and their birth companions to embrace the joy of natural childbirth that their bodies are perfectly designed to achieve - no matter where they decide to have their babies.

Each client is a unique human being, so Russell uses a range of psychotherapy modalities that will best suit the client to move towards the goals they are striving to achieve. Some of the modalities include: Hypnotherapy, NLP, TimeLine Therapy, EFT, Hypno-Kinesiology, Subconscious Mind Healing, and EMDR.

Though not a definitive list, Russell helps people reach their goals in relation to:
