In this episode, I'll be chatting with Paul Weeden, a skilled counsellor, cognitive behavioural therapist and coach. He believes in integrating a variety of theoretical frameworks and theories to provide clients with a holistic understanding of good mental health and well-being from different perspectives.\xa0\nPaul helps individuals change physical behaviours, addictions, and habits, with his specialisation being in treating anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. He employs a psychological and emotional framework inspired by ancient teachings like Buddhism and Stoicism, providing clients with useful tools to use in their everyday lives.\nPaul is committed to improving mental health awareness and self-development, and he has developed a framework called 'The 8 Pillars'. These pillars include acceptance, surrender, commitment, responsibility, trust, forgiveness, respect, and giving.\nHighlights:\n\U0001f449 Definition of good mental health\n\U0001f449 Managing unhelpful behaviour\n\U0001f449 The 8 pillars of well-being\nLinks:\nwww.theselfdevelopmentcoach.co.uk\nwww.mindbodycounselling.co.uk\xa0\nhttps://www.authenticonpurposecoaching.com/free-eguide\xa0\nFollow On Instagram:\n@theselfdevelopmentcoach\n@theselfdevelopmentpodcast\n@mindbodycounselling\nFollow On Tik Tok\nhttps://www.tiktok.com/@theselfdevelopmentcoach\nCharlie Currie produces The Self Development Podcast from Chatter Podcasts.\nThe Self Development Podcast theme music is called \u2018Life I Chose\u2019 by Kick Lee.
