How to keep the body in mind as a psychologist or therapist with Dr Nancy Bancroft

In this week's episode of the Business of Psychology, I am really pleased to be here with Dr Nancy Bancroft. Nancy is a clinical psychologist who you should be following on Instagram @thebodyinmind. She has a passion for mind-body connection, and is making the shift from the NHS to building a business based on that passion.
