Owen O’Kane, psychotherapist and expert in the BBC’s groundbreaking series Change Your Mind, Change Your Life, has spent more than 25 years transforming lives across physical and mental health. Early in his career, he worked as a palliative care specialist, supporting people at the end of their lives—an experience that profoundly shaped his compassionate, practical approach to psychology. After retraining as a psychotherapist, Owen went on to serve as the NHS Clinical Lead for West London Mental Health. 

Since leaving the NHS, Owen has worked with leading global organisations including Virgin Atlantic and Vodafone, helping teams enhance performance and wellbeing. His work has earned praise from renowned figures such as Davina McCall, Lewis Capaldi, and Benedict Cumberbatch. 

A three-time Sunday Times bestselling author, Owen has written four acclaimed books: Ten to Zen, Ten Times Happier, How To Be Your Own Therapist, and his latest title, Addicted to Anxiety (February 2025), which became an instant Sunday Times Bestseller. His books have been translated into more than forty languages and have achieved what is rare for a British self-help author—resonating with readers worldwide, from the United States to China, as well as across Europe, Russia, and South America. This global success speaks to the universal appeal of his work, his voice on mental health, and his ability to connect with audiences everywhere.
