Season 1, Ep. 186

In this episode of the Good Humans Podcast, I’m joined by the incredible Bec McWilliam, a holistic psychologist living and working on the stunning Gold Coast, Australia. Bec shares her journey through the psychology field, from working with the Australian Defence Force and the criminal justice system to her current private practice that focuses on the body-mind-soul connection.


Bec’s holistic approach explores what lights you up, your values, and what’s truly important to you. We focused on topics like anxiety, ADHD, and invisible illnesses, discussing how these challenges impact mental health and the practical steps you can take to support yourself or others.

Beyond her professional life, Bec’s passion for the ocean, yoga, pilates, and her dog, Appa, shines through. Whether you're looking for practical advice or simply inspiration to prioritise your mental wellness, this episode has something for everyone.


What You’ll Learn:

  • What a holistic approach to psychology looks like and why it matters.
  • The importance of the body-mind-soul connection in addressing mental health challenges.
  • Insights into managing anxiety, ADHD, and invisible illnesses.
