BSP is by the far the most amazing therapy I have ever learned and used, and I am proud to be a member of both the British BSP (BSPUK) and Polish training teams. I have translated many of Dr David’s Grands trainings for Polish therapists and I have also translated for, supported and worked with many BSP trainers, consultants and therapists around the globe.
I am also a trained Brainspotting Therapist in Ruth Chiles´s method for resolving Focal Dystonia. I work closely with her to enable musicians, performers and athletes who suffer from this debilitating condition to return to full fluidity in their coordination and fine motor skills.
Brainspotting® is a highly attuned brain-body-based relational therapy. It is a very powerful, focused method, discovered by psychologist Dr David Grand in 2003. It works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms.
Brain-based therapy is the fastest growing area in the field of psychological health because it has proven that it can immediately address issues that talk therapy can take years to heal.
In essence, every emotional, physical, and mental state is mapped in our visual field. When we focus on these “spots” (called brainspots) in our visual field, it allows our system to successfully identify, process, and release core sources of physical/ emotional pain, trauma, and a variety of other challenging symptoms that are out of reach of the conscious mind.
The Brainspotting therapist aids you in locating these “spots” in the visual field, allowing your system to successfully process them faster than conventional methods.
Brainspotting (BSP) is a revolutionary new therapy which evolved from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).
It offers rapid and profound change for many issues such as PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Physical Pain, Chronic Illness, and much more as well as performance blocks.
It can be used to enhance performance, to enter the states of flow and to help you with expansion, creativity and self-actualisation.

BSP makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the BSP therapist to locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. BSP is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship.
We believe that BSP taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability. When a Brainspot is stimulated, the deep brain appears to reflexively signal the therapist that the source of the problem has been found.
Through EMDR and brain spotting with Maja, I have felt a huge positive shift in just a few sessions. She has helped me to process significant traumatic experiences in a creative and safe enough way, as well as supporting me to trust myself along the journey. I appreciated the focus on post traumatic growth and I no longer feel defined by the trauma I have experienced. I am extremely grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Maja.
Can be used to find and strengthen our natural resources and resilience.
Designed as a therapeutic tool, BSP can be integrated into many of the healing modalities.
The phenomenology and neurobiology that underpin BSP consolidate approaches to therapy, supervision and consultation.
Can be used with performance and creativity enhancement.
Even more powerful when used with the enhancement of BioLateral Sound.
