BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT®)

I am a certified BWRT® practitioner, registered with The Terence Watts BWRT Institute.  I am qualified in Level One (General Psychopathology) and Level Two (Psychology of Identity & Behaviour) Brainworking Recursive Therapy.

A few words from Terence Watts, the creator of BWRT®: 

‘BWRT®’ stands for ‘BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®’, a model of psychology and psychotherapy created by UK professional therapist, Terence Watts, MCGI. Like many other modern therapies, it allows a ‘core of privacy’ so that you do not have to divulge anything you would rather not talk about – in fact, the practitioner only needs to know how you feel and how you would prefer to feel instead. BWRT® is a completely new and different therapy based on the latest discoveries about the way the brain works and how it affects our moods, behaviour and emotions. Only Certified Practitioners have been trained to deliver BWRT® and all have to adhere to a strict ethical code.

BrainWorking Recursive Therapy is a groundbreaking new model of psychotherapy.  This therapy works by enabling the client to “re-wire” their reactions to situations and events in life.  Because our reactions to any stimuli start in the unconscious, primitive part of the brain, our responses to external events happens even before we become aware of them. Often, by the time we are conscious of our action, it has already been completed.

It’s like interior design for the brain

A recent client

BWRT® psychotherapy is a solution focused therapy (which means you don’t need to specifically discuss the problem you want to resolve).  This form of therapy works directly on the unconscious mind. It changes instinctive, ingrained behavioural responses which are no longer useful to you. This works by replacing the unwanted pre-conscious response to a given situation with the response you would prefer to have. I can work with many presenting issues which clients may struggle with in their daily lives -social or perfomance anxiety, fears and phobias, confidence and much, much more. As a qualified Level Two practitioner I can work with patterns of behaviour which arise from core identity issues.

“Re-Wiring the Brain”

This therapy uses the natural brain processes to alter the thought patterns which control our conditioned responses. This allows apportunity for completely eliminating unwanted behaviour, replacing it with the client’s own preferred outcome. BWRT® is a content-free therapy. Unlike other therapies, such as CBT,  it does not involve “homework” or tasks to undertake. In addition, because the therapy is content-free the client does not have to share information which they may otherwise find rather difficult to talk about. The client only needs to talk in general terms about their issue.

N.B. Level Two BWRT®, which works at a deeper level to bring about change in the core identity does require some disclosure, but still works with the most personal aspects of the client in a content-free way.
