What's our ethos?
In this short video, Prof. Andy McDonnell briefly explains our broad-reaching ethos, mission and unique approach.

Our approach is if we can help people a little bit to see a behaviour or a situation in a different way, then we're part of that journey for them. We're not there to take over their journey.
Prof. Andy McDonnell
Director, Studio 3

Our global mission
Studio 3 was founded in the early 1990s by Andy, Dave and Pete, when crisis management in care meant control, compliance and containment.
We asked a different question: "Who is the person and what has happened to them?"
Drawing on psychology, Jiu Jitsu and a refusal to accept the status quo, that question became the Low Arousal Approach.
More than 30 years on, it still drives everything we do.

Studio 3 International - 50,000 Low Arousal practitioners trained to date
