Hello and welcome to Dial Emma, the podcast where your dilemmas meet my therapeutic insights.

I'm Emma Reid-Torrell, psychotherapist, author, and well-recovering people-pleaser.

Each week, I'll be unpacking real-life questions from listeners just like you.

The big ones, the small ones, the ones that keep you up at night,

offering practical tools and gentle truths to help you find your way through.

So if you've got a question, you don't know how to ask out loud.
