Robert Batt

CEO, Founder & Clinical Director, Honorary Professor MSc NCAC (Reg MBACP, FDAP Accred)

My role is to lead the organisation and to manage the direction and expansion of The Recovery Centre.

I believe passionately in the ethos of providing the best and most effective solution for the individuals who ask for our help, advice and experience. I created and developed the concept of Customised Care 15 years ago and I continue to pioneer new and innovative treatment programmes for our clients based on their unique goals and individual circumstances.

I hold a Masters Degree in Psychology and have been practicing for 2 decades. I have studied Positive Psychology with Dr Tal Ben-Shahar (Positive Psychology lecturer at Harvard) and Philosophy with Dr Phil Joice at Oxford University. I am a current PostGrad at Darwin College, Cambridge.

My weekends are spent on our family farm in Norfolk, with my wife and three daughters: Laura, Isobel and Emilia.

Inspiration:

Martin Seligman – Professor of Psychology University of Pennsylvania – for writing the positive counterpoint to DSM-IV; Character Strengths and Virtues

James Hillman – Author of The Soul’s Code in which he suggests that each individual holds the potential for their unique possibilities inside themselves already.

Robert also lectures across the UK and world on family dynamics and mental health.
