Advanced therapy for the reactions you can’t simply think your way out of.
When your brain has learned the wrong response, understanding it isn't enough.
Advanced BWRT® for anxiety, trauma, confidence and performance.
I work with the automatic responses that can continue long after you understand why they're happening - changing the underlying pattern rather than teaching you to live around it.

THE PROBLEM:
You can know you're safe and still feel frightened.
You can know you're capable and still lose confidence.
You can understand exactly where an anxiety came from and still be unable to stop it.
That's because these reactions are not necessarily being created by the rational part of the brain that's telling you everything is fine.
They can be automatic, learned responses - predictions your brain has become very good at making. And once a response has become automatic, trying harder, thinking positively or repeatedly reassuring yourself may do very little to change it.
That's the level at which I work.
THE METHOD:
It doesn't teach you how to manage the reaction: it stops the reaction occuring in the first place.
BWRT® works with the brain's automatic response patterns.
Rather than repeatedly reasoning with an unwanted feeling after it appears, we identify the response the brain has learned and update the pattern behind it.
The aim isn't to make you better at tolerating the old reaction.
It's for the old reaction to stop being generated in the first place.

THE PRACTITIONER:
Experience matters when you're asking someone to change something that has controlled you for years.
I'm Kate Osmaston, a Registered Advanced BWRT® Practitioner.
I work with clients dealing with anxiety, trauma, confidence, fear and performance issues, often after they have already spent years understanding the problem without being able to change the reaction.
My approach is direct, pragmatic and focused on change. There is no requirement to endlessly analyse the past, practise coping strategies or repeatedly relive distressing experiences.
Alongside my clinical work, I'm a former elite equestrian competitor. That experience - together with losing and subsequently restoring my own riding confidence - led to one of my specialist areas: helping capable riders whose automatic fear response no longer reflects their actual ability.
“Within two sessions with Kate, my life was transformed.”

International Event Rider and Coach
You haven't forgotten how to ride.
When a capable rider suddenly becomes frightened of something they have done hundreds of times, ability isn't necessarily the problem.
The brain can learn a protective response remarkably quickly.
A fall can do it. So can judgement, criticism, responsibility, hormonal change or sometimes apparently nothing at all.
My work with riders focuses on changing that response - not persuading you to ride through it.

‘BWRT®’ stands for ‘BrainWorking Recursive Therapy®’, a modern model of psychology and psychotherapy created by UK professional therapist, Terence Watts, MCGI. It uses a totally logical, practical and down-to-earth working method in which it’s not necessary for you to talk about anything you would rather not discuss – the practitioner only needs to know how you feel and how you would prefer to feel instead. BWRT® is unlike any other therapy you might have heard of or read about, using the latest discoveries in neuroscience coupled with your own unique brain processes to help you get better. Only Certified Practitioners have been trained to deliver BWRT® and all have to adhere to a strict ethical code. Find out more at http://www.bwrt.org
