Show Notes In this episode, Simon is joined by Natalie to open up the existential questions that lie at the heart of coaching: What does it mean to live well? How do we find meaning in a finite life? How do we coach for authenticity, freedom and responsibility? Far from being bleak, existentialism is revealed here as a liberating practice. Death is not avoided but faced - giving urgency and clarity to our choices, reminding us that life is finite and must be lived meaningfully. This conversation shows how reinvention is possible at any stage of life, and how helping others can deepen our own sense of happiness and fulfillment. Together, Simon and Natalie highlight the value of micro meanings - the everyday rituals, relationships and joys that ground us in significance. They reflect on the importance of structure in supporting growth, while also recognising the liberation that comes when we accept life's pointlessness and take responsibility for creating meaning ourselves. To live authentically, we must face uncomfortable truths, resist “bad faith,” and embrace freedom with courage. Existential coaching, then, is less about problem-solving and more about opening a space where clients can explore their choices, discover what matters, and move towards a life without regrets. It speaks to the universal human pursuit of meaning, and to the possibility of finding spirituality and depth even in the midst of uncertainty. Key Reflections Coaching at its best creates space for clients to face the uncomfortable truths of freedom, choice, and responsibility. Awareness of death can deepen our sense of aliveness and urgency to live meaningfully. Micro meanings - rituals, relationships, and small daily joys - are vital in shaping a good life. Bad faith often creeps into coaching conversations, and part of the coach's role is to gently challenge it. Balancing structure and freedom is essential, both for personal growth and for effective coaching practice.

In this episode of PsychCrunch, Tabby Taylor Buck delves into the world of unconventional therapeutic activities, guided by the latest psychological research and insights from practitioners in the field. She explores how innovative approaches are reshaping what therapy can look and feel like. Tabby begins with climbing therapy, stepping into a pair of painfully tight climbing shoes and joining psychotherapist Lee Simmons on the wall. We then turn to the imaginative world of structured roleplay, as Dr. Sören Henrich discusses the therapeutic potential of Dungeons & Dragons. Next, Professor Jo Williams offers insight into animal-assisted interventions, shedding light on the psychological mechanisms that underpin them. Finally, the conversation plunges into cold water. Professors Mark Wetherell and Mike Tipton discuss the psychological and physiological impact of cold water swimming, exploring how cold water immersion may help with stress adaptation and improve mood. Throughout the episode, Tabby and her guests explore a central question: Are these diverse interventions tapping into unique mechanisms, or are they all accessing shared core ingredients that promote psychological wellbeing? This is Episode 42 of PsychCrunch, the podcast of the British Psychological Society's Research Digest, sponsored by Zanda. Episode Credits: Produced and hosted by Tabby Taylor Buck.

"When I first become aware that I was experiencing perimenopause, or at least put a name to what I had been experiencing for years without knowing what was going on, it was a very different world. That was just 10 to 15 years ago." Laura Haycock   Laura Haycock and I talk about her recently published book, M-Power, which addresses menopause as a critical issue that intersects with organisational culture and how we treat one another at work. Her book is rooted not just in lived experience, but in a deep understanding of culture, leadership and inclusion. Laura elaborates on the importance of understanding menopause beyond just a women's issue and highlights the systemic changes organisations can implement for a supportive environment. The discussion also touches upon the historical and societal factors that have shaped our understanding of menopause and how modern workplaces can adapt. We reflected on what it takes to lead in a changing context, where organisational effectiveness depends on recognising what people need to thrive. This is not just a conversation for women. It's an invitation to rethink how organisations support humanity at work - by seeing what's usually invisible.   Laura Haycock is a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. She graduated from Oxford University in Experimental Psychology and has a Masters in Applied Psychology from Cranfield University, College of Aeronautics.

In this deeply personal episode, I'm joined by Harriet Ennis, a psychology teacher from York and this year's winner of the British Psychological Society's Pre-Tertiary Education Psychology Teacher of the Year (PEPTOTY). Harriet reached out to share her personal experience of Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), previously referred to as school refusal. Harriet brings both professional insight and a powerful parental perspective to the conversation, as she opens up about her daughter J's journey through this challenging experience. EBSA describes children who are unable—not unwilling—to attend school due to overwhelming emotional or mental health difficulties. It's estimated that 1–5% of students experience EBSA, though this number may be even higher post-COVID. It's not about truancy or defiance—it's about real, often invisible, distress.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with internationally respected sport psychologist Dr. Richard Thelwell to explore the psychology behind high-performance coaching.

Richard is a Professor of Applied Sport Psychology and currently serves as the Executive Dean at the University of Portsmouth.

In this episode of The Time Management Podcast, I share my personal story of being diagnosed with scoliosis age 16, undergoing two major spinal surgeries age 19, and what this journey has taught me about time, resilience, and the pressure to be "normal." Since June is Scoliosis Awareness Month, it felt like the right time to finally share this story. In this episode we talked about: The mindset shift from diagnosis to decision. How scoliosis shaped my life, career, and daily routines. The impact of societal expectations around "fitting in." The hidden costs of trying to be “normal.” Neurodivergence, inclusion, and the importance of self-advocacy. Practical tips for advocating for your health and your needs. Homework for You: What have you overcome that shaped who you are today? What are you not appreciating about yourself right now? Who are you not appreciating for their role in your journey? ➜ If you'd like to work with me one-to-one, book me to speak, or get a copy of my book, all the links are in the show notes.

Jess Baker is a Chartered Psychologist, Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and Author of the book, “The Super-Helper Syndrome: A Survival Guide for Compassionate People” which is for anyone who wants to understand how helping works and to be better at it. Mike Petrusky asks Jess why she believes that empathy in the workplace is often misunderstood, and she shares the difference between cognitive empathy and emotional empathy. She explains that compassionate leadership involves both empathy and taking action to relieve the suffering of others, which leads to better team performance and a more inclusive environment. Jess says that change management in the workplace should involve asking employees about their needs and how they would design their workspaces to optimize their well-being and productivity, but advises we ask more questions since the first answer may not always reveal the true needs or feelings of individuals. Mike and Jess share inspiration and encouragement as you seek to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!

The massive variety of human sexual interests is a little mind-boggling. As what we consider to be sexually typical continues to be expanded and shaped by the internet and popular culture, psychologists are making efforts to research kinks and members of the kink community like never before. Join Ella Rhodes in conversation with Liam Wignall (Senior Lecturer at Brighton University and committee member of the BPS's Sexualities Section) about his work exploring community in these underground spaces, links with neurodivergence, and the ways modern technology is transforming the scene — as well as research into it. We also chat with Dr Kate Marks, a Clinical Psychologist who works with those involved in kink communities, about her impressions of the emotions, social consequences, and even therapeutic echoes that run through these subversive engagements.  This episode discusses sex, sexuality, and the stigma and struggles that can come alongside it. As such, it may not be suitable for all audiences.

In this episode, I share a small but eye-opening story that begins with a single word: lacuna. What started as a moment of academic frustration turned into a reflection on the way we, as adults, often skim rather than fully engage — with words, ideas, and even our own decisions.I explore how our reading habits reflect something deeper: a psychological tendency to stay safe, to avoid uncertainty, and to hold ourselves back from fully stepping into new knowledge. Drawing on research around word retrieval, loss aversion, and socioemotional selectivity theory, I unpack what it means to sit in the space between knowing and doing – and why that space seems to grow as we get older.From my experience hosting Psych at the Mic for the British Psychological Society, to reading hilarious bedtime stories with my nine-year-old, I reflect on how curiosity, language, and even self-doubt shape the way we learn, lead, and show up in the world.This is an episode for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by information, unsure whether they “know enough,” or stuck between intention and action. It's also a quiet nudge to slow down, ask questions, and give ourselves permission to still be learners – even in the middle of our careers.Whether you're skimming, overthinking, or saying yes to too much (guilty!), there's something in here for you.www.leilaainge.co.uk

In the realm of healing and personal growth, the subject of spiritual awakening often emerges as a complex theme, merging both the psychological and the transcendental. In our latest episode, we host Jessica Corneille, MSc, a Research Psychologist with a focus on the enigmatic field of spiritually transformative experiences (STEs). Jessica shares her mission to bridge science and spirituality, urging a shift in mainstream psychology to embrace spiritually transformative experiences as a vital part of our humanity. Through her fascinating insights and research, she describes these experiences as profound moments that often unveil a transcendent reality. Jessica's personal narrative sheds light on her deep commitment to this field, recounting her own unexpected awakening which inspired her academic pursuits. We discuss unexpected catalysts for spiritual awakening such as intense psychological turmoil and trauma, revealing how such spontaneous experiences often arise amidst life's most challenging moments, and the nuances between awakenings that occur spontaneously, those catalyzed by psychedelics, and those nurtured through practices like yoga and meditation. Learn how cultural and religious frameworks impact the interpretation of awakening experiences, and the societal taboos surrounding these phenomena. We also discuss the challenges of introducing the scientific framework to validate and understand such experiences that have historically been marginalized or pathologized. Finally, Jessica stresses the value of community after an awakening experience to assist with integration. With her research, Jessica aims to unite the divide between science and spirituality, highlighting how psychological frameworks can adapt to encompass these significant human experiences.Jessica Corneille, a Ph.D. Candidate in Neurophenomenology at University of Cambridge, has a Master's Degree in Psychology from the University of Greenwich. She has presented her work at several academic conferences, including with the British Psychological Society, and has published articles for various publications including the Psychedelic Society, as well as a chapter in a new book that explores spiritual awakenings among members of the scientific community. Jessica is dedicated to helping individuals come to the realization of their highest human potential.Liked what you heard? Help us reach more people!

Our strategy session was focused on helping me personally and professionally solve my time management challenges which came at the perfect time as areas of my life were in flux. The time audit I completed prior to the strategy session helped me to hold up a 'metaphorical mirror' to reflect on where I was spending and utilising my time. Talking this through in depth with Abigail made me realise that there were some immediate practical solutions I could put in place but more significantly I had a mindset shift in the way I treated the intentional planning and usage of my time to achieve a solid and achievable work/life balance.
