What clients say
"Gareth Strangemore-Jones is trauma-informed through his own lived experience, self reflection, self development, post traumatic growth, study, research, teaching and clinical experience. He has helped me through the darkest phase of my life and now I am shining brighter than ever before. If you are looking to move forward positively, then you should book in to The Brain Gym for Post Traumatic Growth."
Post-Traumatic growth client
"I came because I was bringing work stress home and I did not like the version of me my kids were getting. The Brain Gym gave me structure and tools I actually use. I am calmer, more present, and far less reactive. My partner noticed the change before I did, and that says everything."
Workplace stress client
"I used to dread the spike hitting. That tightness in my chest, the racing thoughts, the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. The programme taught me what was actually going on in my brain and gave me ways to interrupt the cycle before it took hold. I still get anxious sometimes, but it no longer controls my day."
Anxiety client
"For years I thought ADHD was just something I had to live with and work around. Mental Health Matrix helped me understand how my brain actually works and gave me practical strategies to manage the noise, stay on track, and stop beating myself up about it. My focus has improved, my sleep is better, and I finally feel like I am working with my brain instead of against it."

Professional credentials
Why I work for Mental Health Matrix
I built The Brain Gym because I saw first-hand how many people were falling through the gaps in mental health provision. The technology existed to do something better, but nobody was building it with clinical expertise at the centre. Every feature on this platform started with a real clinical need, not a product roadmap. That is what sets us apart and that is what keeps me driven every single day.

www.mentalhealthmatrix.comFun fact about me
"As a volunteer, I used to help run and promote conscious clubnights and music festivals promoting the WorldShift values of peace, justice, sustainability, social innovation and conscious evolution. I look forward to asking my festival friends and music-industry angels to help us put together a Brain Gym Foundation awareness and fundraising event to help make the platform and hubs accessible to as many people as possible."
"My son started seeing Gareth due to ongoing issues with peers at school as well as anger issues. We have seen a complete change in our son who is getting along better with peers and teachers in school and his school work has drastically improved as well. We have seen a long lasting improvement in our sons mental wellbeing as we haven't been for nearly a year but my son is still doing great, all thanks to the hard work and persistence from Gareth. Couldn't thank him enough!!"
