The Learning hub
Evidence-based psychological tools. No diagnosis required. No 18-month waitlist. No gatekeeping.
For 22 years, I turned people away from NHS services because they didn’t meet clinical thresholds. They were “not sick enough.” But they needed the same tools I taught in therapy—the same frameworks I used with diagnosed clients.
The Learning Hub exists because everyone deserves access to evidence-based psychological tools—not just those the system deems “sick enough.”
Whether you’re managing mental health independently, preparing for therapy, using techniques between sessions, maintaining progress after therapy, navigating a child’s diagnosis, or building a career in psychology—the Learning Hub gives you what you need, when you need it.
Watch the video hereWe built the Learning Hub around three principles:
1. Connecting people through a strong community. You’re not alone in the learning space. We create resources that bring people together around shared challenges.
2. Championing accessibility. Clinical psychology shouldn’t be locked behind arbitrary thresholds. If you need tools, you should have access to them.
3. We create tools people can actually use—not just theory they forget. Evidence-based techniques you can apply immediately.
The Learning Hub is our commitment to those principles.
What You’ll Find Here
An Affiniti for Psychology
Our newsletters explore the psychology of everyday life.
Recent essays include: “Resilience doesn’t feel resilient at all” and “What happens when you don’t make it—and how to plan for it anyway.”
Thoughtful, long-form writing that treats you like an intelligent adult. No “top tips.” No quick fixes. Just honest exploration of how we navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and stay in the learning space.
Workshops
Evidence-based psychological tools you can learn and use immediately.
Our workshops cover a broad range of topics—from managing intrusive thoughts with CBT, to supporting children’s mental health in the digital age, to career strategies for adults with late-diagnosed ADHD and more.
We teach the same techniques I’ve used with clients for 26 years, adapted for different challenges and life stages.
Whether you’re seeking standalone support, preparing for therapy, practicing techniques between sessions, or maintaining progress after therapy, these workshops give you professional-grade tools.
