Robert Batt

I lead The Recovery Centre, overseeing its direction and ensuring a strong focus on providing the highest possible level of care. With more than 20 years of clinical experience and over 30,000 hours of psychotherapy delivered to young people, I have dedicated my career to improving adolescent mental health.

Twenty years ago, I pioneered the concept of Customised Care, developing innovative treatment programmes tailored to each client’s unique goals and circumstances. My academic background includes a Master’s Degree in Psychology, a second Master’s from Darwin College, Cambridge, and specialist training in Positive Psychology with Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar (Harvard) and Philosophy with Dr. Phil Joice (Oxford).

Alongside my clinical work, I advise Cambridge Mind Technologies, a University of Cambridge spin-out that uses AI to deliver psychological first aid to teenagers in schools and clinics worldwide.

When I’m not working, I spend weekends at the family farm in Norfolk with my wife and three daughters — Laura, Isobel, and Emilia.
