The Nurtured Nurturer Podcast
We’ve started this podcast because we’re passionate about inspiring and supporting counsellors, therapists and other helpers or supporters to look after their own wellbeing and thrive in their personal and professional life. The Nurtured Nurturer Podcast is all about counsellors, therapists, and other caring or helping professionals putting themselves first for a change. Beth and Niamh share stories, interviews, self-care strategies, and practical tips with warmth, humour, and a little quirk — supporting you to nurture yourself as well as you nurture others.
We will bring you two podcast episodes a month: one with the two of us or a solo episode on a specific topic, and the second will be an interview with someone wonderfully relevant.

Season 1, Episode 2: Perfectionism and how we’re learning to loosen up. In this episode of The Nurtured Nurturer, we’re exploring perfectionism — how it shows up in our lives, where it comes from, and gentle ways to move past it. We share personal reflections, insights from our work as counsellors, and practical ideas for embracing “good enough” without guilt.

Season 1, Episode 4
In this episode of The Nurtured Nurturer, we’re diving into seasonal self-care and what it really means for those of us who spend our lives caring for others.
We explore how to navigate the endless seasonal to-do lists, how easy it can be for helping professionals to push through and “hold it all together”… and why it’s so important not to. We talk about boundaries, letting go, and reclaiming the natural rhythms and cycles that modern life teaches us to ignore.
We also share a behind-the-scenes look at our upcoming Reset Day and offer our personal top self-care practices for this time of year.
A gentle, grounding conversation for anyone who nurtures, holds, or supports others — especially as the seasons shift.
