This will be a talk that attempts to summarise over 30 years listening to patients with common and also complex and enduring mental health problems and helping them to change consistently for the better through psychotherapy. The talk will span both cognitive analytic and cognitive behavioural models and approaches to change.   The talk will integrate theory, research and evidence and also lots of anecdotes from clinical practice across both outpatient and inpatient work.   The talk will focus on the ways in which we can get in the way when helping others psychologically and also define the ways in which we can also accelerate change; what the universal mechanisms of change are and how to make use of them.  The talk will think about the limits of psychotherapy and how to enable its potential and possibilities which each patient.  The talk will draw on the personal experience of often lengthy stints of being in the patient chair to bring to life the concepts being discussed.
