Definitely not. Everyone has mental health, just like everyone has physical health. Therapy not only helps with mental health issues but also builds your ability to handle life’s challenges. It teaches new skills and strategies and helps you use your strengths to enhance your life and boost your mental well-being. We think everyone could gain from a supportive environment where they can think, learn, talk, and feel heard and understood.

Dr. Lawrie holds both a Master’s and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology, along with qualifications in Clinical and Educational Psychology. His specialization in Performance Psychology, coupled with extensive experience in business and international sports, significantly enhances his capacity to provide support to diverse groups. 

Including both individual and group levels across sports, education, and business sectors, addressing areas such as performance enhancement, mental health training, therapy, and evaluations.

Dr. Lawrie provides introductory and certification training in his groundbreaking psychological methods: Inner Competitor ^®, UNIQUISM ^® and Mindful Thought Self-Regulation ^®. These programs are tailored to assist individuals in achieving their full potential.

The number of therapy sessions required will vary based on your unique circumstances. While some individuals may achieve their objectives in just a handful of sessions, others may find that they require 20 or more. Dr. Lawrie’s approach emphasizes fostering confidence and empowerment through therapy rather than fostering dependency. To facilitate this, he will consistently monitor your progress using specialized evidence-based outcome measures. By integrating these measures with ongoing feedback, he can collaboratively determine the appropriate frequency and length of your therapy sessions.
