Join Strategic Bites

Strategic Bites is a strategic learning series of short, 5-minute lessons inspired by Brief Strategic Therapy.

The full series, 22 Psychological Traps, is a structured mini-course created from both BST theory and my clinical experience as a psychologist and Brief Strategic Therapist, designed to help you recognise the psychological patterns that quietly keep us stuck.

It’s designed for people who don’t want more advice — but want to understand why advice hasn’t worked, and what keeps certain difficulties repeating despite insight, effort, and good intentions.

Each week, you’ll receive a brief, story-based reflection with a practical insight and a small exercise to help you notice — and gently interrupt — familiar patterns of thought and behaviour.

You can begin with five free Strategic Bites, offering a real taste of the approach and introducing how psychological traps work. If you choose to continue, the full course 22 Psychological Traps includes 22 Strategic Bites, each exploring a different trap often linked to anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and everyday difficulties - along with additional supporting elements designed to help you integrate and revisit the work over time.

There’s no pressure and no spam — just a structured way of seeing things differently. Because change begins by learning to look at familiar patterns with new eyes and responding to them differently.

Strategic Bites Full Series

Strategic Bites: Psychological Traps - Full Series is the continuation of the free Strategic Bites, expanding the journey into a complete, story-based mini course of 22 short lessons inspired by Brief Strategic Therapy.

Each weekly Bite follows the same structure as the free series: a short story to create recognition, a clear strategic explanation, and a small reflective exercise to help you experiment with practical shifts in how you think and act.

The lessons are delivered weekly — not daily or all at once — because this is a course, not just a reflection or newsletter. Each Bite includes exercises that require practice and time to digest, allowing insights to integrate gradually.

Exploring patterns linked to anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, and everyday challenges, the series offers actionable insights you can apply immediately. By the end, you’ll have a coherent framework to understand your recurring patterns and respond to them with greater awareness and flexibility.

The full series includes:

22 Strategic Bites — the complete course, delivered in a structured weekly rhythm
PDF summary and full table of all 22 traps — a clear reference to revisit and track patterns over time
One 15-minute Strategic Clarification Session — a focused space to ask questions about the course material (not a clinical consultation)
Anonymous Q&A digest — collected participant questions answered in a shared format, allowing you to learn from others’ reflections as well as your own
