Methodology

Building on well-established, industry standard therapeutic models like Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Logotherapy, and Rational Emotive Therapy, Cornél is among approximately 2,500 psychologists and therapists trained and certified in BrainWorking Recursive Therapy (BWRT®).


BWRT® is a modern model of psychology and psychotherapy created by UK professional therapist, Terence Watts, MCGI. It uses a totally logical, practical and down-to-earth working method in which it’s not necessary for you to talk about anything you would rather not discuss – the psychologist only needs to know how you feel and how you would prefer to feel instead. 


BWRT® is unlike any other therapy you might have heard of or read about, using the latest discoveries in neuroscience coupled with your own unique brain processes to help you achieve significant and lasting improvement in a remarkably short time – many need just 1-2 sessions, depending on the complexity of the presenting symptoms or problems. 


Only Certified Practitioners have been trained to deliver BWRT® and all have to adhere to a strict ethical code. Find out more at www.bwrtsa.co.za (local) or www.bwrt.org (global).

What clients say...

I was sceptical, but now I feel positive and I believe I will see results.

Therapy with Cornel changed my life completely!

Excellent therapy!

Everything was well explained.

I felt the experience was positive and helpful. I found it valuable to really unpack what was causing my performance anxiety, and found the process of BWRT a helpful one to soften the edges of the anxiety I was experiencing.

I'm glad I met Cornel. I could connect easily. The therapy is intense and I’m very impressed with the improvement I made.  I’m positive that the overall outcome of the sessions will be a huge success.
