Welcome to Proper Mental episode 31, my guest this week is Nemone Metaxas!
Nemone is a DJ, radio presenter and television presenter/producer. She is also a trained psychotherapist practising in West and Central London.
She started her radio career at Kiss FM before moving to Radio One for the Saturday Breakfast Show and finally finding her spiritual home at BBC 6 Music.
She is renowned for her forensically researched interviews with Hollywood actors, global music stars and comedians, all of whom come under the same thoughtful and reflective microscope.
Always having the intention to build on the psychology degree she gained as an undergraduate in Manchester, she went back to college in 2013, studying part-time alongside being a mum of two and broadcasting weekly. Six years later she gained her MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling, earning a distinction in her research project.
Over the years, she’s thrown back the curtain on the lives of Bono, REM’s Michael Stipe, Johnny Depp, Eric Cantona, James McAvoy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and countless others, many of whom welcomed the chance to return to her shows over the years. And now she can add me to that impressive list of conversations!
Nemone and I sat down to chat about all thing’s music. How it can soothe us, heal us and make us feel a little better when we need it to. We also chat about Nemone’s work as an integrative psychotherapist and how she uses the power of music in mindfulness, grounding and sleep.
