This Trusted Place with John-Paul Davies: Mental Health, Therapy & Becoming a Therapist

In this video, I speak with Robyn Ochs, a leading advocate for bisexuality and bi+ identities. Robyn shares her experiences and insights on bisexuality, pansexuality and the broader spectrum of non-binary sexualities, reflecting on identity, self-expression and community.

We talk about the complexities of coming out, not just as a personal step but as an act of love and authenticity that deepens our relationships. Robyn also speaks about the challenges and stigma bisexual people face, the role of supportive communities, and her ongoing work with Bi Women Quarterly, the oldest publication dedicated to bi+ women’s voices.

**Key Topics**
Understanding bisexuality and bi+ identities
Coming out as an act of love
Challenges and stigma in the bisexual community
The role of support networks
Robyn’s advocacy and activism

In this YouTube video I talk about making the transition from a current career to becoming a therapist, addressing two common concerns: the length of qualification and the financial transition involved in this career change.

1. Qualification Length: many people seek the quickest route to start their private practice, but, while the theoretical part of the training might be completed more quickly, the psychological shift required  for many can significant and ongoing. 

2. Financial Transition: the financial aspect of transitioning to a therapist is another major topic and I say some more about this in this video. I talk, for example about the importance of building a financial buffer and considering part-time or flexible work to sustain an income during the transition and qualifying as soon as someone can. 

3. Psychological and Emotional Considerations: I also touch on the psychological challenges of this career change, such as managing fear and anxiety, which can impact the ability to build a successful practice.

In this episode, I explore the pressure that therapy trainees, and therapists more generally, can sometimes feel to go along with dominant views within training groups, supervision, or wider therapy spaces.

What happens when we don’t feel safe to express a different opinion?
What are the effects on our growth, learning and sense of self when we hold back?
And how do we create environments where difference is truly welcome?

I’d really love to hear your thoughts on this one, especially if you’ve experienced something similar in your own training.

If you're a therapist or therapist-in-training looking to enhance your social media presence while staying true to your values, hopefully this video is for you.

I explore your WHY, your WHO, and your WHAT — three key questions if you want to grow on social media in a way that feels sustainable and authentic. Drawing from my own experience, I share how social media can support (rather than drain) both your practice and your personal life.

In this video, I cover:
1. Why social media matters – The potential benefits and the costs of putting yourself out there
2. Intentional use – How to make sure it adds value rather than overwhelm
3. Authenticity – Why showing your real self can help build deeper connections (while also staying aware of boundaries and ethics!)
4. Do you need a niche? – Thoughts on whether to start with one, and how it can naturally evolve
5. Managing the challenges – Including anxiety, comparison, and the psychological impact of being online

Whether you're just starting out or trying to grow, I hope this gives you encouragement and clarity.

In this episode, I welcome Patricia to discuss the complex subject of anxiety and the role of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in managing it. 

Key Topics:

1. Introduction to Anxiety:

   - We look at what anxiety is, a fear-based emotion that can dominate life if not managed properly.
   - How fear and anxiety, while often seen as negative, can be valuable when understood and managed correctly.

2. Using ACT skills to manage anxiety effectively:

  - We look at the concept of 'becoming' through values-based actions.
  - The importance of taking intentional steps towards who you want to be, despite internal fears, helping individuals become who they want to be.
 - The importance of responding to both external and internal stimuli in a way that aligns with personal values.

3. Patricia shares her personal experiences with anxiety, including giving a TEDx talk, which was a significant anxiety-provoking event for her.

4. We talk about lots of practical advice and suggestions for people experiencing anxiety based distress.

5. Patricia also shares her advice for those entering the profession and her favourite piece of life advice for people generally!

- a discussion about community for bisexual/bi+ people looking to establish or join some kind of bisexual community, 

- great advice from Rob for anyone at the early stages of discovering a bi identity and his favourite piece of life advice!

Therapy Training: the CONs (and some PROs!) ft Charlotte Battista

In this episode, I welcome Charlotte Battista to discuss the challenges and some of the benefits of therapy training. Charlotte is in the early stages of her counselling and wellbeing career, with a passion for corporate work and an interest in relationships. This episode provides a comprehensive look into the world of therapy training, offering practical advice and personal experiences.

Charlotte shares her background and what drew her to the field of therapy, influenced by her father's career as a mental health nurse.  The conversation then delves into the potential challenges faced during therapy training, including time management, getting placements and balancing academic commitments, as well as what she might plan to do looking into the future. 

We talk in detail about all aspects of Charlotte's experiences to date in the training, including being one of the youngest people on her course and what that's been like for her. She also offers valuable advice for those considering a career in therapy and the significance of social media in building a professional presence and networking and shares her favourite piece of life advice: "Worry is a waste of the imagination"!
