The Feel Better Every Day Podcast episode 13: Veena Ugargol

If you’d prefer to watch our interview, you can do so

Veena is a London based Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (BABCP Accredited) and EMDR therapist with over 10 years’ experience of working with depression and anxiety disorders within the NHS and privately. She’s also a yoga therapist for mental health, speaker, lecturer and researcher. 

Learning how to navigate and better understand her own stresses and anxieties led Veena to develop academic experience of psychology and neuroscience, leading to formal study at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London and UCL, and she continues to remain current with both fields.  

Her academic interest in stress and emotional trauma and their effects on health, combined with her experience and knowledge of psychotherapy, yoga and mindfulness and how these approaches can improve mental health equips her with a versatile approach to address a diverse range of group and individual needs. Veena has spoken about managing stress and worry at Google HQ in London, mindfulness at Kings College London and managing stressful transitions at Gap HQ in NYC.

When did you act as if you loved yourself? How might you amp up the self compassion today?

Let me know:

WHO AM I?

I'm your host, Eve Menezes Cunningham, author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I'm a trauma therapist (with lived experience), supervisor and Self care coach (integrating yoga therapy, NLP, EFT and crystals as appropriate) helping people connect with and take better care of their Self. I run Feel Better Every Day with Eve Menezes Cunningham (aka selfcarecoaching.net).

I started The Feel Better Every Day Podcast because I realised that even with the focus of my work being self and Self care, I often struggle. And so do so many of my colleagues! We're all human! So I interviewed several of them including neuroscientists, authors writing about health and wellbeing, fitness professionals, therapists, coaches, energy workers and medical professionals.

We ALL have gaps and even gulfs between what we would LOVE to be doing for ourselves each day and what we actually do. My hope with each episode is that you'll go easier on yourself and do something rather than nothing from your own ideal self or Self care repertoire. Create a life you don't need to retreat from! Let me know how you get on! I really love hearing from y'all.
