Change how you feel, faster than you thought possible.
BWRT® works with the brain’s natural processes to stop unhelpful responses and reactions before they begin.
Are unwanted fears, anxieties, or stress holding you back from doing things you would love to do? Does the thought of speaking in front of people make you freeze in fear? Do you panic at the thought of being in a crowded room? Are you missing out on holidays because you are so afraid of getting on an airplane? Even the small difficulties we normalize as part of life occupy much more space in our minds than we realize.
Imagine how freeing it would be to move through life with ease; even when faced with situations that once felt difficult or triggering.
BWRT®; a modern, and remarkably effective neuroscience-based technique developed in 2013, works quickly and effectively to change these unhelpful responses and leave them behind so that you can get back to living.

What Is BWRT®?
The International BWRT Institute
‘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.
What to Expect
Free Consultation
First, I will meet with you to learn more about your presenting issue, answer any questions you might have and determine BWRT is the right approach for you.
The First Session
In the first session we will begin to work on your issue(s). All I need to know for BWRT to be effective is how the situation currently makes you feel, and how you would prefer to feel instead. You also don't need to disclose any information you'd prefer to keep private if you'd rather not.
BWRT Gets to Work
During the session I will guide you through some visuals that are created from your own personal thoughts and feelings. Next, we will ‘freeze’ the troubling thoughts and feelings you are having and then use a technique called Recursive Looping to replace the brain's current response to new, more desirable response to whatever it is you're facing.

If BWRT® is so amazing, why have I never heard of it and why aren't more people using it?
The answer is simple. BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT®) is a relatively new therapy that was created by psychotherapist Terence Watts in 2013. It’s even newer in Canada, with only a handful of Professional Practitioners offering it. To date, BWRT has been in use in other parts of the world with amazing success; most prominently in the UK and South Africa.
BWRT has been the subject of a Ph.D. awarded by the University of Lincoln, UK, and the first full randomized controlled trial — run and funded by the University of Bergen, Norway — has been completed, with results awaiting publication. You can read the registered trial protocol on PubMed.
How much does it cost, and how long does a session last?
Each session costs CAD $150.
The initial session can last up to two hours, and regular sessions last about an hour.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required is unique to each individual and their specific needs and situation. One of the great things about BWRT® is its speed. On average, many issues can be resolved in 1-4 sessions. Some issues can be resolved in a single session.
