Today is the release day of Caz Binstead's new book "Relational Ethics in Psychotherapy and Counselling Private Practice: Solidarity, Compassion, Justice (Ethics In Action)" (published by Routledge), which also features a short case study on my YouTube channel!
An excerpt from the Amazon book description: 'This book explores the ethics around everything connected with setting up and running a therapy private practice... The book provides exercises, examples, and vignettes, in addition to the author's own unique working model, to help the reader bring theoretical reflections into their own everyday practice...and... will help private practitioners feel more confident and grounded in their private practice and up-to-date with developing thoughts. It will also appeal to training institutes, supervisors, and students.'
In this podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Caz about her journey to releasing the book and the importance of ethics in private practice. She's an experienced private practitioner, supervisor, writer, and facilitator, with a passion for ethical and thriving practice. She has helped hundreds of therapists with their private practices and believes in the importance of balancing ethical considerations with business growth.
The book covers various topics, including solidarity, compassion, justice, and the importance of endings in therapy. Caz also runs projects like Trainee Talk and Therapists Create, which provide support and opportunities for therapists and trainees to connect and explore their creativity. If you're interested in learning more about ethical practice and the journey of releasing a book, this podcast is for you.

Men's Mental Health Awareness Month continues in November! In this podcast, I look into the importance of empathy for men and how it can help manage anger, foster vulnerability, and improve relationships by way of a thought experiment. Imagine a life where your close friends are gone, your internal guidance system is severed, and your worth is solely based on competitive wins or losses. This experiment sheds light on the daily struggles faced by many men - isolation, estrangement, shame, rage, and despair.
I think empathy is a key to change. By establishing empathy for ourselves and experiencing it from others, we can often understand more and address the root causes of our challenges. Coupled with a commitment to do things differently, empathy becomes a powerful catalyst for personal growth and healthier relationships.
Please do share your reflections and thoughts on this experiment and feel free to email me separately, I'd love to hear your insights. Take care of yourselves and stay tuned for more content.

In today's podcast, join me as I chat with James Hawes, an experienced therapist and author of 'The Secret Lives of Men', to discuss the topics of men and anger, as well as empathy and intimacy and the effects all of these have on men's lives and relationships.
Anger is a complex emotion that can have a significant impact on men's psychological and physical health. Often associated with protection and survival, it can be a valuable asset if managed consciously, however, if left unchecked, it can have catastrophic consequences. A lack of empathy can similarly strain relationships and hinder personal growth, as can a lack of intimacy, which plays a vital role in healthy relationships.
James is a therapist with extensive experience working with men and has a deep understanding of the impact of these issues on men's lives. During our conversation, he shares his insights into anger, emotional fitness, and the importance of empathy and intimacy. He discusses various therapeutic approaches and exercises that can help men develop emotional fitness and connect with their emotions and emphasises the significance of creating a safe and supportive environment for men to explore their emotions and vulnerabilities.
We also touch on the role of banter in male relationships and how it can sometimes hinder vulnerability and intimacy. James provides valuable insights into how men can navigate these challenges and foster healthier connections with others.
In conclusion, anger, empathy, and intimacy are interconnected aspects that significantly impact men's lives and relationships. By developing emotional fitness, cultivating empathy, and embracing vulnerability, men can enhance their overall well-being and create more fulfilling connections with others.

In this conversation, we explore the importance of ethical considerations and obligations that are involved in being a therapist in private practice, which are so important as we navigate our professional journeys.
We discuss a wide range of topics such as the key role of supervision, which provides therapists with guidance and support, insurance, necessary for protecting both the therapist and clients, the clinical will, outlining a therapist's wishes in case of incapacitation, and contracts, which establish clear boundaries and expectations between the therapist and their clients.
We also spend some time looking at the significant and ever-evolving use of social media by therapists, the importance of continuing professional development to enhance skills and knowledge, and the vital importance of self-care, which is often overlooked but is essential for maintaining a healthy therapist-client relationship.
I hope this conversation will really help anyone who's thinking about these important issues in the field of therapy. Whether you've been in practice a while or are just starting your journey in this field, this discussion is designed to provide valuable insights and practical advice that will be beneficial for your practice.

Exploring Red Flags and Narcissism: A conversation with Darren Magee
In this conversation, I sit down with experienced therapist Darren Magee for a deep dive into red flags or warning signs in relationships, particularly focussing on what they might be and how to recognise them and why we might ignore them. Darren has extensive experience of working with narcissism with both individuals and couples and there is often an overlap between these red flags and potentially narcissistic partners.
Our conversation covers a wide range of topics, offering valuable insights into the patterns of behaviour that might constitute worrying red flags, including 'love bombing', the significance of a pattern of minor rejections, struggles to communicate and comparisons with others, including exes/previous partners.
We dive deep into his perspectives on the stages of relationships, the psychology of someone with highly narcissistic traits, covert narcissism, the 'dark personalities' (including sociopathy) and the psychology of people who get into relationships of people with highly narcissistic traits and why they might deny or endure red flags and stay in toxic and coercive relationships.

In this second podcast of my three-part series on red flags in relationships, I explore why red flags may not be immediately visible, especially when we view our partners through "rose-coloured glasses." Sometimes, we overlook or rationalize behaviours that are actually warning signs, mistaking them for normal aspects of a relationship. This podcast dives into how idealizing our partners can cause us to miss these crucial red flags early on.
I also discuss why, even when we do eventually recognize the red flags, we might choose to stay, endure, or deny them. Whether it's out of fear, hope, or attachment, there are many psychological reasons that can keep us in relationships that aren't healthy. Understanding these dynamics is key to making more informed choices and protecting our emotional health. Throughout, I also mention the possible indication of narcissism and a narcissistic partner in the area of red flags.
Areas include:
- Early Experience in Life (someone’s childhood)
- The Effect of Love
- Love in Imagination
- Fear in Imagination
- Rewards & Drive
- Shame
- What to expect for Part 3

In this first podcast of my three-part series on red flags in relationships, I outline 10 potential warning signs that may signal trouble ahead. Recognising red flags early can help you avoid unhealthy relationship patterns and protect your emotional well-being. These red flags range from issues around trust and communication to controlling behaviours and emotional manipulation. By being aware of these signs, you can take steps to assess your relationship and make informed decisions about its future.
This podcast serves as a guide for anyone looking to build healthier and more balanced relationships. Keep an eye out for these red flags, as they can often indicate deeper underlying problems that shouldn't be ignored. I also make links throughout to narcissism and your partner potentially being narcissistic.
Each flag as follows:
1: Dominance of Anger
2: Unable to take Responsibility
3: Disconnected Relationship with Emotional Experience
4: One Extreme to another
5: Their ‘Love’ Doesn’t Run That Deep
6: Lying
7: Impulsivity
8: Not Paying Attention to You
9: Dominated by Competition
10: Internal Red Flags

In this podcast, I’m replying to a question from one of my YouTube channel's subscribers: “How do I actually find clients and grow a private therapy practice?” This is something I get asked all the time, so I wanted to share my personal journey, including some of the lessons I’ve learned, and the steps I took to build my private practice from the ground up. This is a continuation of my previous podcast about potential earnings, specifically focusing on how to build a therapist private practice and find clients:
https://youtu.be/xUb3E9U5oXk
If you’re just starting out or looking to scale, there’s so much potential out there—and yes, there are definitely enough clients for you. But it’s all about knowing where to find them and how to position yourself. I’m sharing my top 10 sources of clients, what worked for me back in 2017 vs. now, and some advice that a friend sent my way that I think will resonate with many of you.

I often get asked, “How much can you really make as a therapist in the UK?” So today, I’m giving you a real-world example by breaking down how a therapist could earn £100,000 a year. I’ll walk you through the maths, from the number of clients you need to see each week, to pricing strategies, work weeks, and of course, those yearly expenses that all therapists have to account for. It’s not just about income — it's about the bigger picture and knowing how to plan for a sustainable career.

In this podcast, I read out the heartfelt and impactful story of David, a remarkable individual who kindly reached out to me after discovering the channel. David wanted to share his thoughtful, honest, and inspiring journey regarding his bisexuality and the significant effect it has had on various aspects of his life.
It is an eye-opening narrative that sheds light on the challenges and triumphs he faced along the way. Following the reading of David's story, I take a moment to share some reflections and insights on what we have just heard. I emphasise the importance of self-acceptance and self-love, as well as the critical role that acceptance and love from others play in David's journey of understanding and embracing his identity. It’s a reminder of how vital it is to have a supportive network during such personal explorations.
