Professor Tanya Byron

Professor Tanya Byron, one of the country’s most experienced consultant clinical psychologists, examines whether the language of mental health has begun to do us more harm than good.  

Drawing on decades in the therapy room, she shows how the misuse of clinical vocabulary hides our real emotions, robs those with genuine conditions of care and leaves a generation trapped behind labels, reshaping the way we understand our feelings, our families, and the conversations we all so desperately need to get right. 

‘One of Britain’s leading authorities on mental health.’

Tanya will be in conversation with award-winning editor for magazines Marie Claire, InStyle & Red  Trish Halpin.
