About this episode

In this week's episode of Talking Therapy, I explain Therapeutic Coaching, the methodology that I co-created, and the one I use with my patients both privately and on In Therapy. I also talk about giving and receiving criticism, and answer your questions about committing to health practices and how often we should have therapy.

I'm excited to share that the summer intake for our Therapeutic Coaching course is now open! If you're looking for a change in career, you've dreamed of working with others to optimise and transform their psychology, or you just want to go deeper into your own self-development, this could be the training for you!
