Have you ever wondered what mental health and wellbeing professionals talk about behind closed doors?

Welcome to Professional Opinions, a brand-new series exploring the mental health and wellbeing landscape in 2023 through a collection of interviews with professionals from the Happiful directories.

Have you ever wondered what draws someone to become a counsellor? How about what parts of the job a life coach struggles with? What’s on the horizon for hypnotherapists? What do nutritionists want to change about their professions? And what advice would complementary therapists give to others interested in following the same route?

Each week, we’ll share a new interview with a professional, exploring their motivation for doing their line of work and outlining both the opportunities and challenges that come with it.

Together, we’ll look to the future, considering what’s on the horizon – and ask, how will it change the landscape of mental health and wellbeing support? We’ll ponder the things we want to change, right now. And, we’ll celebrate both the big and the small moments that make these professions such fulfilling vocations.

Join us, each Wednesday, for the latest instalment in the Professional Opinions series. And head to the series’ hub, where you’ll be able to browse all the interviews so far.

The Happiful directories are Counselling Directory, Life Coach Directory, Hypnotherapy Directory, Therapy Directory, and Nutritionist Resource. Find out more, and start your journey with us.
