The Beck Emotional Access Technique (BEAT)
An Applied Method for Emotional Access & Behavioural Alignment
BEATTMstands for Beck Emotional Access Technique. It has been developed by Edgemind Solutions, founder Fay Beck.
Put simply it is a neuroscience-informed training system that helps people take control of their internal affective states and presentation channels (face, body, voice) through a set of specialised and practical Exercises and Tools that shift mindset, change behaviour, posture and verbal communication.
As a simple demonstration of how the approach works, try this little thought ‘exercise’:
Bring attention to how you feel right now; actually feel your internal state.
Now imagine that you could replace your internal state with a more confident, happier, powerful, ‘change-it-up-any-way-you-like’ state…
And imagine that you could just do this through simple, physical, behavioural and posture changes and verbal communication tools…
That’s BEATTM and that’s how we can help you and your teams
feel better, work better and succeed better.
“Most people are not limited by who they are, but by how tightly they identify with it.”
Fay Beck
AWARENESS
We help you bring awareness to your current thoughts, behaviours, and internal states and show you they work as a restrictive system.
We train you to bring and hold attention. We help you shine a light on your thoughts, behaviours, and cognitions.
BEHAVIOUR CHANGING TOOLS
We teach you practical tools that break habits, shift behaviour and change internal states. We work at the level of behaviour not cognition – that’s our secret to success.
We show you how to work diligently towards the next version of you.
APPLICATION & PRACTICE
We train you to apply the tools and work through resistance and blocks using straightforward plans and programs uniquely suited to you.
You will practice self development through a concise, effective method that actually makes sense to you.
UPLEVEL & UPGRADE
Work towards an elevated version of you breaking through your previous character’s restrictive shell.
You will experience genuine, embodied change and look forward to further, higher-order changes.

BEATTM is a practice-led methodology for training awareness, behavioural alignment, and emotional access.
Rather than analysing behaviour after the fact, the work focuses on what is happening in real time – how thoughts, emotions, physiology, and behaviour are being generated and expressed in the moment.
The method integrates principles drawn from neuroscience, performance psychology, cognitive science, and embodied practice. However, BEAT is not an academic or therapeutic exercise. It is a training system.
Through structured exercises, individuals learn to observe their internal state and external behaviour simultaneously, identify misalignment, and intervene deliberately. Over time, this develops greater behavioural flexibility, emotional range, and control under pressure.
BEATTM is designed for people who want to function with greater clarity, agency, and effectiveness – in professional contexts where performance, communication, and decision-making matter.
For a detailed account of the conceptual foundations underpinning this work, see The Architecture of Emotion & Behaviour.
A FURTHER NOTE ABOUT OUR METHOD...
Think of our system like this:
The more aware you are and the more knowledgeable you are, the more control you have over best behaviour and action, moving you closer to your goals.
This is the upward virtuous cycle mode of human behaviour. This is the cycle you want to be on.
The opposite process unfortunately also holds true about human behaviour:
The less aware you are and the less knowledgeable you are, the less control you have over your own outcomes. The result is that you are further from your goals, eventually leading to a disempowered mindset and, reduced wellbeing and mental health.
You’ll recognise this as what is commonly referred to as a downwards vicious cycle. If you recongnise that you are on one of these, it’s time to take action!
BEATTM is the help you need to send the spiral moving the other way.
Our aim here at the studio is to make sure it works the right way: upwards and onwards towards success.
