Most football supporters joke about needing therapy after a tough match or season, but my guest Phil actually provides therapy for a living. He is a lifelong Tottenham Spurs fan and also a BACP Counsellor, although those choices were not related, as some might suspect. He provided excellent conversation about both Spurs and mental health, especially why therapy is so beneficial even for those who are not impacted by severe mental health or trauma. He also talked about the power of mindfulness, that it is not just a buzzword, but a helpful practice for daily living.
