S4 | E4 The Path to a Successful Therapy Career (ft. Dr. Leslie Lund)

In this thought-provoking conversation with the insightful and experienced psychotherapist Dr. Leslie Lund, we explore her rich and fascinating career as a psychotherapist. We begin by discussing her initial journey, starting out with a psychology degree that laid the foundation for her professional path and set her on the course towards becoming a skilled practitioner in the field. From there, we explore her bold decision to move countries to the UK, where she pursued further training as a psychotherapist at a time when this kind of training was just beginning to gain traction and recognition in the mental health community. 

Dr. Lund candidly shares her experiences and challenges during this transitional period in her career, providing invaluable insights into the early days of psychotherapy in the UK. She reflects on the obstacles she faced, the cultural differences she encountered, and the support systems that helped her navigate this pivotal time. We also talk about her focus now on working with adolescents and their families, particularly those in the independent school sector and the unique kinds of challenges that they often face.

Throughout our discussion, we also touch on the evolution of psychotherapy practices over the years and how Dr. Lund's unique perspective has shaped her approach to therapy, hopefully making for an enlightening experience for viewers interested in understanding the complexities of mental health and the journey of a dedicated professional in this field.
