Do You Ever Feel Life Is Pointless? Surviving Existential Dread with therapist and author Philippe Tahon | S5 E3

Philippe Tahon is a London-based psychotherapist, coach, and author who specialises in transforming people’s relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Originally from Belgium, Philippe made a bold career shift from running restaurants to becoming one of Europe’s most sought-after therapists, following his own deeply personal journey with weight and self-image. 

With over two decades of experience, he’s developed a unique, psychology-led approach to weight loss that goes far beyond diets—helping clients address the emotional patterns behind their habits and create lasting change. 

As the author of Shrink: The Diet for the Mind and host of “Shrink: The Podcast for the Mind,” Philippe blends insight, honesty, and compassion to challenge conventional thinking and help people feel better not just in their bodies—but in their lives.
