What is Psych-K® - a simple explanation for inner change

A few years ago, I reached a pivotal point in my career. I wanted something different, but I did not know how or where to start. I was an international human rights lawyer, and this was the path I was most familiar with. I tried different ideas to find my direction, but everything still felt unclear.

One evening at a family dinner, I asked a relative who works as a coach: “How do I change my career?”
I did not plan to ask this. It just came out. He answered immediately: “I know a process that in five minutes can change your life”. And I said: “I want it now.”

He told me about PSYCH-K® and suggested that I read the book “PSYCH-K® The Missing Piece Peace in Your Life” before my first appointment. The title plays with the word "piece", which is crossed out and replaced with "peace". It reflects the inner wish that we all carry to feel more at ease in our lives. At the same time, the “missing piece” refers to inner work at the subconscious level, something most people never consider, even though it influences so much of what we experience.

I took the book home and read it in one evening. Everything in it felt simple and true.

The foundations of PSYCH-K®

The book opens with the quote: “Peace is the key to all knowledge, all mystery, all life.” The significance of this quote comes up in every Clarity session I have with my clients, who, by the end of it, often say: “I want peace of mind.”

Rob Williams, the originator of PSYCH-K®, described how people think, feel, and make decisions, and the challenges they face, but cannot easily put into words. He explained why we often want change, yet something inside keeps us in the same place. Most importantly, he showed how the subconscious mind holds old perceptions and limiting beliefs that continue to influence our behaviour even when our conscious mind wants something different.

Rob Williams also wrote about the limits of talking-only approaches. Many people gain clarity through conversation, but their deeper patterns do not change, so the outer situation remains the same. Insight is helpful, but insight alone does not update the subconscious programs that drive most of our reactions and choices. This helped me understand why people can discuss an issue for years yet feel stuck in the same place.

The change when doing a PSYCH-K® process is brought in through a whole-brain state, which is one of the foundational principles of the method. In this state, all parts of the brain work together instead of pulling in different directions. This helps new beliefs feel natural instead of forced, and it makes the next steps in life feel easier, more obvious, and more aligned.

How PSYCH-K® Helps

After reading the book and relating to so much, I took a few sessions. Even though the process was new to me and I did not feel much during the session itself, I noticed immediate changes in my real life. That is when I decided to learn the method. I wanted something simple, quick, and easy that I could use with myself whenever I needed to get out of a situation that felt hard.

And this is exactly what the method offered. When something feels off during the day, one can sit for a moment and use the process. It often brings more clarity and a grounded feeling. Things feel lighter after that, and the action that seemed impossible to take becomes a natural extension of what we do.

The insights that come are usually very appropriate for the situation, and the next step becomes easier. It helps people deal with daily challenges in a calmer and more balanced way, and the difficulties are most of the time turned around.

An empowering method

PSYCH-K® also helps people say clearly what they want. Many of us grew up in environments where expressing our wishes was not encouraged, so we learned to speak more about what we do not want. I was the same, and many clients experience this in our first session. But without knowing what we want, it is difficult to change anything. Learning to express our wishes helps us feel more confident and supports clearer decision-making.

What PSYCH-K® can do for you

The book by Rob Williams gave me language for experiences I could not describe before and helped me understand why it took me years to make a career change. Today, I help others recognise the patterns that keep them stuck in their careers, in workplace challenges, and in difficult situations with co-workers, relatives, or their children. When subconscious limiting beliefs change, people often see results sooner than they expect.
