We caught up with Kayleigh to get her thoughts on the podcast, she said: “I’m so humbled to be able to showcase the exceptional clinical experience of our very own counselling team. This series helps to really highlight the importance of talking so candidly about what might often be seen as difficult topics.”

The topics chosen frequently occur as common themes across our counselling services here at Health Assured.
