Matt and Emma Willis are hosting a new BBC documentary series, Inside Therapy (working title), that provides a look at the world of therapy. The four-part series, airing on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, aims to show how therapy can help people with everyday challenges.
Here’s the Lowdown: Inside Therapy will feature real therapy sessions, with cameras capturing the process as people from various backgrounds work through their issues in a specially-designed clinic. Matt and Emma Willis, who have personal experience with therapy, will guide, as a range of mental health experts help participants.
What This Means Now: The series seeks to make therapy more approachable by showing how it works and offering practical advice for improving mental health and wellbeing. It tackles common problems like grief, anxiety, and relationship issues, with an eye to making professional guidance more accessable.
The Bigger Picture: By showing real therapy in action, the series aims to reduce the stigma around mental health and encourage open conversations. The Open University is also creating online resources to support the series, offering guidance for people thinking about therapy or about training to become a therapist. Inside Therapy will be part of a larger BBC focus on mental health in May. The series comes from Twenty Twenty Productions, known for A House Through Time and First Dates.
