World Mental Health Day, 2025. I liked the picture below as it highlights the amazing benefits of such a simple (and free) activity that I do every day for my own mental health.... going for a walk with my wife and two dogs. I really notice the difference if I skip the early morning walk!! Connecting with, nature and the lovely community members I see each morning, with a passing "hello".

Workshop feedback (2-day trauma masterclass).

"Karl, with the support of Claire presented a Two-Day Trauma Masterclass to nearly thirty mental health professionals from our organisation. The content of the presentation was on point and up to date with current knowledge in the field of trauma and was delivered in an engaging and very human way.

Karl’s depth of knowledge of trauma therapy is proven in his ability to cover research findings, theoretical knowledge, as well as demonstrate sound practical application of the subject matter. Our team felt that although the content that was presented was “high level”, it applied equally well to a range of disciplines across the team. Overall, it was a well-structured, engaging and professional presentation that our team enjoyed.

Trauma is a sensitive subject, and Karl and Claire navigated the need for care and sensitivity with a high degree of professional competence….as well as some light humour.

I thoroughly recommend this workshop to anyone who is looking to extend or consolidate their knowledge and clinical skills in the area of trauma recovery."

More workshop feedback

"I recently attended the 2-day Trauma Masterclass delivered by Karl from Vista Advanced Psychological Therapy, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The content was incredibly informative and presented in a way that made such a complex and intense topic easy to digest and engage with.

Karl’s delivery was outstanding — he balanced deep clinical knowledge with genuine care, remaining mindful of the wellbeing of all participants throughout the entire program. The environment felt safe, supportive, and empowering, which is no small feat when discussing trauma.

This course is something I believe should be mandatory for all CEOs, leaders, and therapists. The insights gained not only enhance professional practice but also contribute to building healthier, more trauma-informed workplaces and communities."
