Dr Ute Liersch

Dr. Ute Liersch, BSc, MA, DPsych, CPsychol, FHEA (HCPC), is a Chartered Counselling and Coaching Psychologist with over a decade of experience across clinical practice, academia, and public speaking. Known for her work in leading private clinics and as a lecturer at the University of London, she specialises in anxiety, trauma, emotional intelligence, and leadership psychology—delivering a pragmatic, evidence-based approach to personal and professional growth.

Whether working with individuals, teams, or fellow clinicians, Dr. Ute blends modalities like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and EMDR with direct, no-nonsense communication. Her work is rooted in sincerity and integrity, unified by a clear through-line: helping people live, lead, and relate with greater depth and agency.

She is the author of A Minimalist’s Guide to Becoming Resilient, a grounded and thought-provoking take on what it truly means to build inner strength in a complex world. In both her writing and speaking, Dr. Ute challenges conventional narratives around stress, emotion, and success—deconstructing psychological and societal constructs through a lens that is both philosophical and accessible. As one producer put it: “You helped me see a thread I hadn’t seen before.”

Beyond interviews, she delivers live workshops and talks for audiences ranging from corporate leaders to therapeutic professionals. These sessions explore themes such as resilience, emotional transparency, neurodiversity, and progressive leadership—offering interactive, real-time engagement. For hosts or networks exploring crossover formats, her ability to move seamlessly between recorded and live environments adds valuable versatility.

Dr. Ute's style is grounded in psychological rigour and enriched by a background in cabaret and stand-up comedy. She holds space with warmth and precision, helping audiences reconnect with what matters and rewrite the stories that shape their lives. As a podcast guest, she brings a rare blend of depth, clarity, and humour—creating conversations that stay with listeners long after the episode ends.
