Customer Reviews
Ear to ear insight
What a gem this podcast is. A diverse range of topics discussed respectfully plus regular episodes with The Secret Psychiatrist provide an insightful angle from within the Mental Health profession. Listen for learning, humour and empowerment.
Thank you
What astonishing podcasts. I have been diagnosed with Cyclothymia and couldn’t find much information. The secret psychiatrist and dialectical behaviour podcasts are so helpful and calming. I can’t thank you enough. Keep up this essential work.
Brilliant Podcast with an awesome Host
I love the Mental Health Book Club podcast. It is friendly and heart warming to listen to, Sydney’s approach to guests and the atmosphere that she creates on the podcast is a real treat. I love resources like this that share such useful information on mental health which is a topic close to my heart, and I was lucky enough to come on the podcast for an episode this year! Great work!
