Making The Change
By The Speakmans and Orion Publishing Ltd
Life change therapists and married couple Nik and Eva Speakman live in an 800-year-old home in the North of England surrounded by fluffy cats. In this podcast they sit down at the kitchen table – sometimes a comfy sofa – to explore a whole host of subjects that often come up in their therapy sessions, including OCDs, eating disorders, and panic attacks. By hearing what others have overcome, and a bit of clever theory too, you’ll feel able to make a change in your life.
So, if you’re ready to learn how to make a change in your life then grab a cuppa and subscribe to this, Making The Change.
