What is BWRT?
BWRT® stands for BrainWorking Recursive Therapy® — a modern model of psychology and psychotherapy created by UK professional therapist Terence Watts, MCGI. This unique, science-based approach works directly with the part of the brain that controls automatic responses and emotional reactions.
Only certified BWRT® Practitioners are authorised to deliver this process. Sessions are completely confidential, and there’s no need to share private details or personal history. BWRT® is conducted in a fully conscious state, empowering you to create calm, clarity, and control from within.
Performance Pressure
Feeling you must always appear in control.
Financial Worry
Sleepless nights replaying targets, figures, or future plans.
Decision Fatigue
Overthinking, second-guessing, or avoiding key choices.
Imposter Feelings
Success never quite feels safe or deserved.
Emotional Overload
Tension, irritability, or exhaustion that won’t lift.
Lack of Balance
Guilt when resting, and little space to simply breathe.
How can BWRT Help You?
BWRT® helps you break free from automatic reactions, fears, and self-doubt by working directly with the part of the brain that drives your emotional responses. Unlike traditional talk therapies, it doesn’t require you to relive painful memories or explain every detail — instead, it rewires the brain’s pattern of response so that calm replaces anxiety, confidence replaces hesitation, and control replaces chaos. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, trauma, habits, or low self-worth, BWRT® provides a rapid, structured path to lasting change — helping you feel more balanced, capable, and free to live the life you truly want.
Kim Barden is a skilled BWRT therapist and has uncovered hidden blocks that I never knew I had! She approaches with compassion humor and a deep desire to be of service. I highly recommend seeking her out for long or short-term improvement in any area of your life. She will guide you back to the life you have always wanted.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to control your life. This short video explains how anxiety works in the brain and how BWRT® can help you break free from the cycle. Watch now to discover a new approach to lasting change.
What Causes Anxiety
Anxiety often begins in the brain’s survival system—triggering fight, flight, or freeze responses even when there’s no real danger. Over time, these automatic reactions can become stuck, leading to ongoing worry, fear, or panic.
How BWRT helps
BWRT® works directly with the brain’s automatic processes, helping to reset those outdated fear responses. It’s fast, content-free, and designed to bring real relief—without needing to relive the past.
