Being a Therapist, with Leigh Spatcher


Listen Later

Hey Podcast, in this episode I catch up with Leigh Spatcher, a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist - or CBT - based in Northampton. Leigh shares his route to becoming a therapist, including bankruptcy and a relationship breakdown, as well as navigating being a therapist whilst also being a dad.

Oh, Leigh was also my therapist, which makes for an interesting chat. Hope you enjoy
