A revolutionary way to help patients maintain their mental health
To stem the rising tide of mental illness practitioners must find ways to help more patients in less time.
Protect your patients with the keystone principles of mental health
Whether you’re a General Practitioner seeing the rise of mental illness in your community, or a Psychologist working on the frontline of the global mental health crisis, Metaphorical Therapy is a powerful and effective new way to support your patients’ psychological health and wellbeing.
Using the visual language of metaphors, the System helps patients internalize the Four Keystone Principles of psychological health – literally at the speed of sight! As all practitioners know, psychological education is essential to the building of frameworks of understanding and to laying the foundations that underlie psychological resilience and behavioural change.
Metaphorical Therapy has been developed over more than three decades by a hands-on consulting psychiatrist. And that is a key differentiator from the medical professional’s point of view.
By establishing a common language of targeted metaphors, the System helps build crucial bridges of understanding between you and your patients. The language of visual metaphors, conjured either by images or by verbal description, empowers you to more effectively engage, connect and communicate with your patients. Discover how you can help more patients in less time.
Metaphorical Therapy will help you work faster and smarter.
The growing mental illness crisis demands that practitioners do more in less time.
Metaphorical Therapy can be used effectively on its own, or as a turbo-charger that can fast-track other established methods of cognitive psychotherapy. The system overlaps and enhances family therapy and many other focussed practices, targeting specific issues with laser-like precision.
The concept of education is integral to the Metaphorical Therapy System. By creating a deeper, more intuitive level of understanding of The Four Principles of Psychological Health, patients can build a foundation of resilience to manage and maintain their own mental wellness.
The evidence
Metaphorical Therapy is built upon the proven time-tested foundations of Interpersonal Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

“Metaphorical Therapy is a vial that can be filled with any applicable antidote. It is a contemporary tool for bringing together often-disparate therapeutic schools of psychotherapy.”
“When you think of treatment for depression you think of soft music and gentle music when what you really need is a ripped lifey in red budgie smugglers yelling, ‘Grab this!’ The lifesaver has arrived!”
