I deliver high value training, therapy and corporate coaching using bespoke motivational tools and techniques to create rapid and sustainable change I have worked with vulnerable people for over 25 years, and in that time worked with people from all walks of life including prof footballers, politicians, tech entrepreneurs, Glastonbury headliners, care professionals through to our most disadvantaged. In my therapy practise I work with people in crisis, usually suicidal, often deeply affected by traumatic events and all acutely vulnerable. I use a mix of humour, logic and a precise assessment of need to create a pathway to recovery. Whilst as a coach I use the same tools to move people to excel in their careers. I am the go-to-guy for many complex cases such as those whose ex partners are psychopathic, narcissistic acute manipulators (Dark Triadic personalities) and people with very complex needs such as psychosis. I founded Betterminds because I wanted to deliver the training I felt I needed when I was a frontline worker. I wanted to know the HOW to do it , as well as the WHAT to do, in order to deliver best practise for those we support. Betterminds delivers the science based tools and techniques that create sustainable positive changes. I have spent the last 15 years amassing the best techniques to help with motivation, change and to build self-esteem. Betterminds courses systematically address all the issues that evolve from the start to the conclusion of the treatment process and build the ‘how to’ toolkits which complements each training course we deliver. For example the MI course has over 200 specific solutions to deal with each motivation related issue that we face as practitioners. Betterminds offers training on: • How to get people to attend (Reducing DNA's) • How to motivate service users (Motivational Interviewing, persuasion science, MI, CBT, ACT, Key working, advanced key working) • How to manage destructive people who are undermining recovery (Codependency, Managing Dark Triads and Healthy relationship courses) • How to engage the community (Peer Mentoring and Group work) • How to manage the typical barriers to recovery (Preventing Lapse, Relapse prevention, Working with destructive emotions, depressive conditions, acute anxiety and complex needs • How to create Sustainable exits (Fulfilment works) Whenever you need a passionate and dynamic trainer, coach or therapist, drop me a line and we can have a conversationabout how we can support each other.
