Chris chats about all things related to the world of therapy and explores with different guests each week what therapy is for them, from talk therapy to running up mountains. He chats to people about their different experiences and challenges they have had. He also meets different therapists and researchers to find out about the approach they use. And along the way there will be lots of laughs as well.© 2026 TherapyTalks Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • Just Keep Going: Tom Conway on Cancer, Creativity, and not Sweating the Small Stuff.
    Mar 12 2026

    Chris sits down with his good friend Tom Conway for a deeply personal conversation about life, creativity, and resilience.
    Thomas speaks about his love for his work, his passion for screenwriting, and his journey through cancer.

    Together they reflect on what illness can teach us about perspective — learning not to sweat the small stuff, focusing on what truly matters, and simply taking one step forward and keeping going.

    This is a conversation about hope, friendship, creativity, and the quiet strength that comes from keeping going.

  • Meaning, Choice and Acceptance, Existential Therapy and ACT - A Conversation with Jennifer O'Kelly
    Feb 3 2026

    I’m joined by Jennifer O’Kelly for a thoughtful conversation on existential therapy and its meeting point with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together we explore meaning, values, acceptance, and what it means to sit honestly with the realities of being human — in therapy and in life. I really enjoyed this conversation and even after, listening back, there was so much more I took from Jennifer's insights.

  • Volunteering as Connection: A Conversation with Jim Hutton
    Jan 14 2026

    In this episode of TherapyTalks, I’m joined by Jim Hutton, Chair of the IACP’s EDI Committee, for a reflective conversation about volunteering within the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

    We explore volunteering not as an obligation or extra task, but as a form of connection — to the profession, to shared values, and to ourselves. Jim reflects on his experiences at both regional and national levels, how volunteering has shaped him as a therapist, and what it has offered him personally in terms of belonging, growth, and meaning.

    This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered whether volunteering is “for them”, and for those curious about the quieter ways community sustains professional life.
