On the 134th episode of the What is a Good Life? podcast, I’m delighted to welcome our guest, Mike Moss. Mike is a BACP registered Counsellor and Supervisor. He has worked in voluntary and statutory organisations for over 40 years and is currently employed as a counsellor in a school. His approach is Person-Centred with an interest in the Transpersonal. He has written widely about the power of the therapeutic relationship and presented his work at workshops and national and international conferences. He has a small private practice offering counselling, supervision and training.
In this conversation, we explore profound themes of life, connection, and the beauty of the ordinary. We discuss the significance of the breath before the last breath, the power of a smile, and the importance of being present. Mike shares his journey of self-discovery, emphasising the potential within each individual and the interconnectedness of life.
The dialogue highlights the struggle we all face and the beauty found in acknowledging our experiences.
