Hello Friends
Welcome to From the Psychologist’s Chair: a place for curious minds.
Twice a month I take an issue that has been brought to me in the therapy room and look at it from 3 different angles. Or from 3 different chairs.
From the counselling psychologist’s chair to develop your psychological flexibility.From the life coach’s chair to give you insights, tools and exercises to process.From the emotional nutrition chair to nourish your brain and your self-care.
It's all part of my 360 degree self development philosophy.
I absolutely love how one reader recently described it:
“I love receiving From The Psychologist’s Chair every week. It makes me feel a lot more positive after reading it and I learn useful tips for coping with stress, staying happy and supporting my mental health."

A bit more about me:
I’m Evelyn Montgomery a Psychologist, Counsellor and Coach MBPsS MBACP BSc (Hons) Psych with a private practice in Hampshire, UK.
I’m also the CEO and founder of pioneering mental health nutritional supplement brand, M+E.
My academic story reflects my primary drivers to heal + to keep learning. And the first project, to make sense of me.
After studying Psychology at university I started to heal my own life by slowly changing my narrative. I saw things from a completely new perspective. Reframe!
So that I could responsibly pass on to others everything that I had learned I studied Life Coaching, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Counselling and Psychotherapy. Eventually becoming a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).
All while bringing up my young family as a single parent.
Nutritional Psychology became my area of special interest. This is the study of how nutrients directly affect the structure + function of your brain which impacts on your mood, how you feel + how you think. I call it Mood Nutrition.
Helping my clients learn about their trauma and attachment patterns, their burn out tendencies and their stress responses I have been able to be able to lift their mood, reduce their anxiety + boost their energy filling them with feelings of self-control, empowerment + hope.
Biohacking my brain + mental health also included becoming aware of the role of feelings + emotions and what we do with them; learning about where we hold trauma and the poly vagal nervous system; learning about the healing power of breathing + visualisation exercises; exploring the effects of moving your body and physical exercise; how nutrients directly affect the structure + function of our brains which impacts on our moods, how we feel + how we think; learning how being outside in nature soothes; finding the benefits of creativity + fun + connection; while underlying all of this self-acceptance + self-care are the cornerstones of mental health.
