    - Worried about time

  • The Complexity of Obesity and Weight Management with Jenny Rosborough

  • A New Way of Thinking About Mental Health

    We often hear the term “disorder” used in mental health, which can insinuate that our brains are not functioning correctly or that they are “abnormal”. In this video, I offer another perspective on how some mental health issues that would generally be classed as “disordered” may just be part of the human experience.

  • The Psychology of Making Dietary Changes

    In this episode, I'm speaking about why psychology is an important factor to consider when changing your diet. The psychology of behaviour change and habits is becoming more recognised as an important factor to consider when making changes, however we still don't see the importance of it, in first wave interventions. 

     

    This episode covers why psychology is an important factor to consider for making dietary changes.

  • Relationship Issues

    In this episode, I speak to relationship therapist Nicole Banner about building a better relationship with your partner. 

    With approximately 200 questions submitted, this podcast was highly anticipated! I hope you get as much from it as I did.

     

    Nicole Banner is a therapist with Spectrum Mental Health who works in Dublin City. She has recently set up her own Instagram page (nbanner.therapy) to talk about these topics, as well as mental health more broadly.

  • Work-life Balance, Stress and Mental Wellbeing

    In this episode, I speak with Chartered Counselling Psychologist Nicole Paulie who works as an onsite workplace psychologist and offers private counselling in Dublin.

    I have collected questions from my Instagram page (headfirst0) about what people struggle with at work, and we’ve addressed them on this episode!

     

    I found it really interesting talking to Nicole because so many people who have difficulty with their mental health cite work issues as a significant contributor.

    Check it out if you have difficulty with workplace stress or if you find it difficult to balance work and life.
