    Welcome to Dr Kelly: Conversations for the Mind. The podcast where psychology meets everyday life. I'm Dr Kelly, a Forensic Psychologist, CBT Therapist, and EMDR therapist, and each week we'll explore the psychology behind the thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships that shape who we are. Through The Inner Work, we'll take a deep dive into topics such as anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, identity, resilience, emotional wellbeing, and the patterns we can find ourselves repeating. You'll gain evidence-based insights, practical strategies, and a deeper understanding of why we think, feel, and behave the way we do. Alongside these solo episodes, Conversations That Matter brings thoughtful discussions with psychologists, researchers, authors, and people with lived experience, offering fresh perspectives on mental health, human behaviour, and personal growth. You'll also find: • A Moment to Ground – short guided reflections and calming practices. • Listener Letters – real questions from listeners answered with compassion and psychological insight. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, improve your relationships, support your mental wellbeing, or you're simply fascinated by human behaviour, this podcast is for you. Subscribe to Dr Kelly: Conversations for the Mind, where psychology meets everyday life, and join me as we explore the mind with curiosity, compassion, and evidence-based understanding. New episodes every week.
