Why ’Mental Fitness Matters‘?
At Mental Fitness Matters, we hold the belief that mental health, like physical health, requires regular attention and care. We are dedicated to being your premier source for psychological therapy information in the UK, addressing all facets of mental health. Our website offers detailed insights into therapy, guidance tailored to individual therapy approaches, and employs only highly-qualified therapists with specialist doctorates.
We are committed to demystifying the field of psychology, often perceived as complex and overwhelming. Our mission is to bring clarity and understanding to the various psychological professions and approaches. By providing clear job title definitions, the necessary qualifications for each role, and practical advice on what to ask your therapist, we ensure that you feel informed and confident in choosing the right therapist to navigate your mental health journey.

About the founder
Dr Oliver Twizell
I’m a high-performance counselling psychologist trained in all the major therapy models, so I can tailor therapy around the client. My clinical expertise is centred on working with elite athletes and high-performance individuals. I work in both private practice as well as for the NHS. I’m a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). I’m also a published, peer-reviewed author with a specific focus on therapy in sport and exercise environments. My work also addresses racism in football and how to best utilise mental health and wellbeing services within elite sporting environments. As well as a Counselling Psychologist, I’m also a Sport Performance Psychologist. I gained my professional doctorate from The University of Manchester Counselling Psychology Programme. My daily role is as a practitioner so therefore this site is not monitored regularly.
