BrainWorking Recursive Therapy SA

An innovative new concept of psychotherapy, BWRT® is unlike anything that has gone before it. There is no other therapy in the world that is the same as BWRT®.

Certified BWRT® Practitioners receive thorough training in this modern methodology and are completely conversant with the techniques needed to work effectively with a great number of human problems and difficulties, including:

Weight management
Habits
Relationship problems
Stress and Anxiety
Personal Confidence
Social Phobia
Fears
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (G.A.D.) PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Depression
The therapy model was developed by Terence Watts, a therapist, teacher, and writer with a long history of creating innovative therapeutic intervention - before BWRT® came Warriors, Settlers & Nomads, LifeMapper®, SymbioDynamics®, M.A.G.I.C!®, and Broadband for the Brain®. All of those are still in use by therapists around the World; BWRT®, though represents a major event in psychotherapy and is rapidly growing in popularity - typing 'BWRT' into an internet search engine will show you that! There are many different styles of therapy available these days but there is nothing else like this one. It's totally safe and sometimes needs only a single session to resolve even apparently impossible problems. If you're looking for therapy

Whatever your difficulty, it’s highly likely that this amazing new therapy can help to set you totally free from it. This is a throughly modern methodology that draws on the latest research into the the technology of the brain and the way patterns of thought affect our wellbeing - so if you know just how you would like to be and feel but just haven’t been able to get to it, then BWRT® can help you find it quickly. We have practitioners in many parts of the world, many of whom work by Skype, Mac Facetime or telephone, so if you have difficulty in travelling or talking in a face-to-face situation, this therapy can still help you - and you won’t even need to travel from your home. Better still, perhaps, you don’t need to discuss intimate details of your life with your therapist unless you want to. All the therapist needs to know is what’s not working in your life and you won’t be asked to talk about your sex-life, childhood, relationships or anything else you would rather keep private. It’s not important if you’re just starting out in the world or have already been ‘around the block’ more than few times - no matter what time of life you’re in, our practitioners can help you actually choose the way you want to feel about almost anything. It is a fact that most people shouldn't really have problems. It's also a fact that most people do... But BWRT® means they no longer have to put up with them and 'just get on with it'. All Practitioners have professional insurance and are required to keep abreast of the latest developments in the world of therapy - when you consult with a BWRT Practitioner you are in safe hands.

“I work in Khayelitsha Hospital as well as in private practice. The speed of this therapy is particularly interesting especially in the Khayelitsha context where patients are not able to commit to long processes and have multiple problems that require urgent work. Being able to offer this kind of hope to patients is magical. Khayelitsha is also a professional context that is loaded with trauma for therapists. Having to hear atrocities that people experience has been one of the major challenges. A contentless therapy is fantastic, not just for the patient but also practitioners.”

“The most valuable aspect of the BWRT Level 2 training is its deep focus on identity-level change, offering structured, neuroscience BWRT L2. -based protocols that target identity with precision. The training equips practitioners to work with the client’s emotional brain through clearly defined steps, guiding them to resolve internal resistance and activate their ideal self without therapist interpretation. Real-play sessions, exploration of perfect/ideal self imagery, and the emphasis on timing, pacing, and client autonomy make this training both practical and transformative.”

Looking back: Thematic Scope of BWRT South Africa Conference 2025

The BWRT© South Africa Conference 2025 presented a multidisciplinary exploration of BWRT across clinical, research, and applied domains. Contributions from a range of speakers, all experts in their field, addressed the following thematic areas:

• Community and public mental health
• Research methodology, research outcomes, and qualitative client experience
• Psychiatry and interdisciplinary clinical practice
• Neuropsychology, cognitive functioning, and neurodevelopmental disorders in adults and adolescents
• Theoretical frameworks, neuroscience, and evidence-informed practice
• Innovative psychotherapeutic approaches, including emerging and psychedelic-informed models

A significant portion of the programme focused on trauma-related applications, including dissociative disorders, adolescent trauma, addiction and trauma, sexual health and trauma, psychosomatic conditions, and complex clinical presentations.

Population-specific and applied contexts were also addressed, including student mental health and brief interventions, BWRT with children, industrial and occupational psychology, career counselling, self-efficacy, and lifestyle-related somatic symptoms.

Collectively, these themes underscored an emphasis on evaluation, ethical practice, and the contextual application of BWRT within South African and international settings. In the very first session Dr. Maura Lappeman addressed the use of BWRT © in impoverished communities. She set the tone for the presentations that followed. One of the few students who presented, Ms. Mariaan Hartwig, presented her evaluation findings on the suitability of BWRT © for anxiety treatment in South Africa. She gave practitioner perspectives and looked at contextual fit. Mr. Mohammed Rawoot addressed adolescent trauma and using BWRT © in teens with PNES and Dr. Charlene Peters presented the use of BWRT © as a brief term intervention to address the mental health of students.

This was merely the first session of the first day. In each of the sessions that followed and the next day contributions demonstrated the growing scope of BWRT across trauma work, neuropsychology, psychiatry, public mental health, and applied practice.

Just as importantly, it surfaced the questions that now need deeper attention:

• How outcomes are evaluated across different populations

• How BWRT integrates responsibly with other therapeutic modalities
• How complex trauma, neurodevelopmental differences, and somatic symptoms are addressed over time rather than in isolation
• How research and lived client experience inform one another

Looking back at The Moment: Something significant unfolded in African psychotherapy – BWRT® ©South Africa 2025

Last September (2025), Stellenbosch hosted the inaugural BWRT® Africa Congress. It marked a shift, not just in scale, but in confidence. BWRT®® is no longer positioned as emerging or experimental. It is established and informed by practice based evidence.

This did not happen in isolation. BWRT® © South Africa built on an already established International BWRT® © Conference that happens annually in the UK, established by Terence and Julie Watts in 2014. In the words of Julie Watts, ‘The relationship between Terence and Rafiq is quite unique, bringing together Terence’s lifetime work with Rafiq’s insight and recognition of what BWRT® could achieve. Due to Terence’s ongoing health concerns, Terence and Julie could not be at the first African BWRT® Congress, he made a live presentation so was able to be a part of the first Congress.

What brought the Congress into focus is practice. Fast, effective, accessible interventions grounded in neuroscience and refined through real-world application. Not theory for its own sake, but tools tested in communities, clinics, schools, and complex therapeutic environments.

Over the past decade, BWRT® has grown into more than a modality in Africa. It has become a collaborative ecosystem shaped by practitioners who understand context, constraint, and possibility. From its global origins to its African expansion, this work has been driven by relevance rather than replication.

As BWRT® © South Africa CEO Rafiq Lockhat notes, this Congress reflects courage, commitment, and vision. Leadership matters. So does legacy.

This gathering is about impact. About therapeutic approaches that work where they are needed most. And about Africa contributing decisively to the future of psychotherapy and not waiting to be invited.

This is the beginning of the conversation. This is where progress begins.
Follow the journey using ®Africa2026 and be part of the record as it unfolds.
