Metaphors may be our best defence against mental illness.

It has been said that metaphors hold the most truth in the least amount of space. They come to us as naturally as breathing. Metaphorical reasoning is critical to our understanding of our experiences and to our interpretation of the world around us. One could go so far as to say that metaphors are the operating system of the human mind. The Metaphorical Therapy System harnesses the innate power of metaphors to deliver essential psychological education, support psychological wellness, and prevent mental illness.

The world’s first complete therapeutic system of expertly interlinked metaphors.

Designed to address a range of common psychological problems, the Metaphorical Therapy System stands upon the well-established solid foundations of interpersonal psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy. The credentials of these well-respected modes of therapy have been confirmed many times over by research.

A revolutionary new delivery system for the world’s best practice.

In daily clinical consulting, over more than three decades, Metaphorical Therapy has proven itself to be a time-efficient way to deliver elements of orthodox therapy and an outstanding aid to teaching the keystone principles of psychological wellness.
