About the show

Welcome to the Mastering Therapy Podcast with me, Dr. Natalie Stott, a clinical psychologist. If you're a psychologist, psychotherapist, or counsellor looking to expand your skills, gain confidence, and discover fresh ways to make an impact with your clients, this is the show for you. We all know that creating meaningful change for our clients is incredibly fulfilling, but let’s face it—this work can be challenging, especially if you feel like you don’t have a big team around you. Mastering Therapy is a weekly podcast that can be your go-to source of professional development and connection, where therapists can learn from one another, share practical insights, and navigate the challenges of therapy together. Join us as Natalie sits down with experienced practitioners who dive into the nitty-gritty of what really happens in a therapy session. You’ll get a front-row seat to their methods, language, and strategies, as well as honest conversations about potential pitfalls and what to look out for. Whether you specialise in working with adults, children, or use a particular modality—or even an integrative approach—there’s something here for everyone who wants to add practical tools to their therapy toolkit. To stay up-to-date with new episodes and access valuable resources, visit www.masteringtherapy.com. You can also connect with us on social media and subscribe on all major podcast platforms.
