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.
