Becci trained as an Occupational Therapist after gaining an interest in the recovery of individuals following life changing events.

Becci's special interest in promotion of positive mental health led her to work within various positions as a Senior OT, working with both common psychological problem areas as well as enduring mental ill health, with clients from an adolescent to elderly age range. Becci uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as her main treatment of choice when assisting recovery of mental ill health, she is fully accredited with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists which oversees the supervised practice and delivery of CBT.

Johnny has worked in the mental health field for 20 years and initially qualified as a registered mental health nurse (RMN) and worked both in a ward setting for the NHS and then in the local community, where his interest in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) first developed. Johnny returned to Newcastle University to study high intensity psychological therapies (PGDip) as part of the drive to improve access to psychological therapies (IAPT) and he has been working as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist since. In addition to providing face to face therapy, Johnny also runs group seminars that focus on both preventative and curative therapeutic approaches.
