What We Talk About

Personal Growth 

Rebuilding your sense of self after life knocks you sideways. We talk about boundaries, identity, confidence, and learning to live in a way that feels honest — not shaped by expectation

Mental Health 

Straight conversations about anxiety, depression, burnout, and emotional overload. No clichés, no platitudes — just real reflections and practical ways to get through the days that feel heavy. 

Addiction 

Addiction doesn’t define you. We speak openly about recovery, relapse, shame, and resilience, and the slow, everyday work of taking your life back without judgement or hype.

ASD Parenting 

Parenting a neurodivergent child can be beautiful and brutal. Mike shares lived experience, professional tips, and calming insights to help you feel seen and supported. ii

About The Host

I’m Mike Cahill — counsellor, ASD specialist, and someone who’s lived the hard road.

 The Insight Couch exists because real change doesn’t come from polished answers or motivational noise. It comes from honest conversations about the messy parts of life we’re usually told to keep quiet.

On the couch, we talk openly about addiction, mental health, fatherhood, neurodiversity, grief, and rebuilding when things fall apart. Not as theory. As lived experience — backed by professional insight, but grounded in reality. 

This isn’t therapy.
It’s not a performance.
It’s a space for real talk that actually helps. 

Sit down. This is where the real conversation starts.
