26: Making a meaningful career change

Exploring yourself through psychotherapy can lead you to transform your life. 

In this episode Helen Willingham, our head of content and engagement, talks to UKCP psychotherapist Richard Hughes. 

After a 25-year career in the TV industry and owning his own production company, Richard began experiencing an existential crisis which led him to psychotherapy. He later became inspired to make this his career. 

‘But doing therapy I just found that I could tap into a vulnerability that I wasn’t really familiar with. It just allowed me to be deeply relational with someone and I really loved it. And I thought why do I just have this for one hour a week, this could be bigger, this could be my life.’
