ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Between them, Richard Bennett and Ray Owen have accumulated over 70 years of experience working in healthcare. As clinical psychologists, they have a long history of helping people navigate the many challenges of life, providing both therapy for individuals and psychological support for organisations. In a departure from their more academic pursuits of teaching, training, and writing books, (and, let's face it, in one last desperate attempt to try and remain current) they have decided to make a podcast to share their personal and professional reflections on life.
If you're interested in wellbeing, psychotherapy, or just looking at life through a psychological lens, then there may be something here for you, especially if you're the wrong side side of fifty (or the right side, depending on your perspective).
