Brendan Larkin is a Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Hypnotherapist, who is passionate about helping people to live their best lives, by dealing with their issues so that they are free to live more happily. Brendan explains the difference between the three therapies that he practices and how you should work with a therapist that you have a connection with. He talks about how he came to become a therapist having gone through his own mental issues and the topics we cover range from addiction and grief to social media and anxiety.
