    Episode 8: Why Reflective Practice Matters More Than Ever
    Apr 30 2026
    What if the most powerful thing a healthcare team could do together isn't clinical at all but simply sitting down, slowing down, and actually talking about how they feel? In this episode of London in Mind, host Dr. Estelle Moore is joined by two guests who have spent their careers making that very thing possible: Dr. Anna Maratos, Trust Head of Psychotherapy at Central and North-West London NHS Foundation Trust, and Dr. Rachel O’Beney, consultant clinical psychologist, group analyst, and member of the Pressing Pause team.Together, they trace the journey of reflective practice from something that once sat at the edges of individual support into something far more expansive, a genuine tool for transforming team cultures, shifting how organisations function, and changing the experience of everyone who works within them. This is a rich, layered conversation that doesn't shy away from the harder truths: the unspoken tensions that quietly build in teams, the way distress can get silently passed around a group and land on one person's shoulders, and why creating real space for difficult feelings isn't a sign of weakness in a healthcare setting it's one of the most sophisticated things a team can do.There’s warmth and even laughter here too, because Dr. Maratos and Dr. O’Beney understand that healthy defences, good boundaries, and the saving grace of humour are all part of the picture. They share practical wisdom on facilitation, supervision, and what it actually takes to build the kind of trust where honest reflection becomes possible, for managers and doctors, just as much as anyone else. If you've ever wondered what it might look like for your team to genuinely grow stronger together, this conversation is a wonderful place to start.Key Resources and Further Reading:Group and Team Coaching: The Secret Life of Groups, Christine Thornton.

    Episode 7: Building Resilience Against Burnout in Healthcare Settings with Dr. Esther Murray
    Apr 23 2026
    What happens when it's not just the long hours that wear you down, but the gap between what you know is right and what the system allows you to do? In this episode of London in Mind, host Dr. Estelle Moore is joined by Dr. Esther Murray, a health psychologist with deep expertise in the wellbeing of healthcare professionals, for a conversation that gets to the heart of what it truly means to work on the front line.This is an episode that goes beyond burnout as a label because as Dr. Murray so powerfully reminds us, naming it is only ever the beginning. She brings warmth, honesty, and real psychological insight to the experience of moral injury: that particular kind of pain that comes not from exhaustion alone, but from having your values quietly eroded by the systems and pressures around you. It cuts deeper than fatigue, and it deserves to be taken seriously.But this conversation is just as much about what helps. Dr. Murray shares practical, human ways to support both individuals and teams from the small, everyday acts of kindness that matter more than we might think, to creating the kind of culture where honest conversations can actually happen. She invites us to listen not just as professionals, but as people, and makes the case that this shift, as simple as it sounds, might be one of the most transformative things we can offer one another.Whether you work in healthcare, lead people who do, or care about building workplaces where nobody has to lose themselves to do their job well, this episode will stay with you. It's a reminder that humanity isn't a luxury in high-pressure environments; it's the whole point.Key resourcesThe Mental Health and Wellbeing of Healthcare Practitioners: Research and Practice | Wiley co-authored by this episode's guest, this essential volume explores the real human cost of working in healthcare and what it takes to genuinely support the people who care for us.Circles dedicated space for healthcare professionals to pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves and each other.

  • Episode 6: Why Psychological Safety Matters in Healthcare Teams with Dr. Ryan Kemp

    Episode 6: Why Psychological Safety Matters in Healthcare Teams with Dr. Ryan Kemp
    Apr 16 2026

    What if the single most powerful thing you could do for your patients starts with how safe your team feels at work? In this episode of London in Mind, host Dr. Estelle Moore sits down with Dr. Ryan Kemp, Honorary Professor of Clinical Practice and Director of Therapies at one of London's largest mental health trusts, for a conversation that goes far beyond the buzzword.

    Together, they get under the skin of what psychological safety actually means in the real, high-pressure world of healthcare: not as a nice-to-have, but as the essential foundation on which great teams, great cultures, and ultimately great patient care are built. Dr. Kemp brings both intellectual depth and practical wisdom to the table, exploring the leadership behaviours that quietly build trust over time and the ones that can unravel it almost overnight. He unpacks why the very concepts of safety and threat are so central to how people show up at work, and how understanding them through a psychological lens changes everything about how we lead.

    This is also a conversation that leans into the hard questions. Is psychological safety just a recipe for avoiding difficult conversations? Is it too soft for the NHS? Dr. Kemp tackles these head-on, making a compelling case for why kindness, accountability, and ambition are not in tension. They belong together. Whether you're leading a team, part of one, or simply curious about what it takes to create a workplace where people genuinely thrive, this episode will leave you with clear, grounded ideas you can take straight into practice. Come for the insight, stay for the inspiration.
