About us
Pioneering evidence-based psychology, delivered empathetically. This is who we are, why we exist, and the person behind it.
The first half
Scholarly
Clinically valid.
Evidence-based, grounded in research, and worded no stronger than the evidence allows.
The second half
psychologist
Relevant to the people who need it.
Empathetic, shaped by lived experience, and useful to the people it is meant to help. That is what psychology should be.
Why we exist
Dr Sam Swidzinski was failed by clinicians who did not know what they were doing and did not seem to care. He was helped by clinicians who knew what they were doing and cared.
That pairing is the whole idea.
So we bridge the gap between top clinical knowledge and the people who need it. We started with short courses and educational programmes, made Veyra, and now work with research teams, healthcare providers and psychology students.
