About this episode

Autistic Burnout with Dr Alice Nicholls

Hello and welcome to the Business of Psychology. Today I'm really excited to be here with Dr Alice Nicholls. She's a clinical psychologist specialising in recovery from autistic burnout. This series of the Business of Psychology is all about finding fulfilment in your work, particularly as an independent mental health professional, and I can't think of a better guest than Alice, because the passion for what she does really shines through her website so wonderfully. I want everybody listening to go and have a look at her website as an example of how to do it well.

Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of Psychology
