TOM FORTES MAYER Tom is an Architect of Human Development, studying the art and science of social change. After formulating a new approach towards psychotherapy called Elemental Psychology, tom enjoyed great success in private practice as a rapid-change, brief therapist. Over the past 6 years Tom has been working with individuals from every walk of life to refine this pioneering technique. Today he is committed to bringing these practical tools into the general public awareness. He has been involved in a variety of collaborations with a number of public bodies, such as the NHS, Co Op, The Learning and Skills Council, The British Heart Foundation, Birmingham City Council and more. He is a member of the European social funded ‘Adjust The Balance’ development partnership that has been responsible for distributing European funding for raising employment standards and reducing inequalities in the midlands area. He is one of the founding partners in Elemental Worldwide LLP, which is a social enterprise dedicated to the development of life changing tools and experiences so that they are fun, easy to use and most importantly widely available to the people who really need it. This pioneering work has led to Tom working in areas as diverse as Nigeria to deliver leadership training to grass roots employees, in UK areas of oppressive unemployment to increase employability, in women’s prisons to reduce re-offending and with disabled people to empower them to face their challenges more effectively. Tom is a regular contributor to Radio 5 Live, local radio and press, and gives regular keynote addresses at conferences for various private, public and social bodies. He has worked with several TV companies developing programmes around therapy and social development.
