Qualifications
Psychologist, Coach, Therapist and Writer
Description
Barry is a psychologist, therapist, and coach. He has built his career around sharing information that helps people sort out the things that trouble them including overcoming addiction and habits they would like to change.
If you’ve decided to stop a "bad" habit such as smoking, the good news is that you are not alone; thousands drop their habits every year, many, overnight. Barry (a former smoker himself) sees this as clear proof that – whatever your beliefs about this ‘addiction’ – success is possible if you know how to go about it.
There's always something you do if you have the right information and the right guidance. So, he provides personal and professional training that will help you get a better handle on yourself, your relationship, and life in general.
Barry's strapline "Life doesn't have to be like that" comes from the idea that—given the right information and a bit of encouragement—we can fix a lot of life's irritants ourselves.
His courses, podcast, and one-to-one sessions always include plenty of practical advice that you can apply right away. He uses a solution-focused, problem-solving approach because he wants everything he delivers to be useful, practical, and effective.
