JUST ASK PSYCHOLOGY: Reactions to Studying Psychology, The Power of Tears & Therapy Boundaries!

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.
