Dr Tony Weston
BACP Senior Accredited Psychotherapist • Executive Coach • Clinical Supervisor • Award-winning Researcher
Founder & CEO, PsycheVita® (Director, PsycheVita Limited) • Author of Transform Your Life: The Ultimate Guide to Self-Mastery
For over two decades I’ve helped more than 1,200 therapy and coaching clients move from coping to genuine growth.
Because I approach clinical work as a researcher, I began tracking a pattern: what we call “symptoms” are rarely random defects. They’re signals that life’s demands have exceeded a person’s current internal capacities.
That insight led to the development of the Lifelong Capacities Map® — 12 core capacities and 48 trainable skills. Together, they form a developmental roadmap designed to help people move beyond diagnostic labels, build psychological mastery, and strengthen the very capacities that sit underneath wellbeing, performance and meaning.
The Map is designed to cover the psychological skills that sit underneath 160+ DSM-style diagnoses and the thousands of symptoms people experience in real life - not by pathologising, but by developing capacities. Those required to move beyond psychiatric diagnoses, perform at the highest levels and live out the wisdom found in philosophical and spiritual traditions.
My background includes a degree in biochemistry focused on the biochemistry of mood and behaviour, an award-winning research career and years teaching therapy research methods at university.
Today, I work with individuals, couples and groups in therapy and executive coaching and I supervise other clinicians. My book, Transform Your Life, and the Psychevita® resources are designed to turn deep psychological insight into day-to-day practices you can actually use. Technology carries the message — presence creates change.
Overview: Symptoms Aren’t Problems — They’re Signals
The Lifelong Capacities Map®
The Lifelong Capacities Map® is a practical framework for psychological development: 12 core capacities, each with 4 competencies, described on a 0–5 developmental scale. Instead of chasing diagnostic labels, we start from lived experience — anxiety, low mood, conflict, burnout — and treat those symptoms as signals pointing to specific skills that can be trained next.
Alongside the 12 capacities sits Capacity 0: PsycheVita, the Vitality Cycle – the “circulatory system” of the whole model: safety & presence → awareness & regulation → meaning & integration → renewal & vitality. Capacity grows as you repeat these cycles in daily life, supported by relationships and regular review. That’s how insight becomes lasting change.
