Emma Reed Turrell

Emma Reed Turrell is a British psychotherapist, coach, and author who specialises in helping people-pleasers reclaim their boundaries and their sense of self. She is a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and has written for publications including the Telegraph and Grazia. Please Yourself: How to Stop People-Pleasing and Transform the Way You Live draws on her clinical experience and her own recovery from people-pleasing to explain why some people compulsively prioritise others' needs at the expense of their own. The book identifies seven types of people-pleasing personality, explains the psychological roots of each, and offers practical strategies for change. Reed Turrell narrates the audiobook herself, bringing the warmth and directness of a therapy session to the listening experience. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers compassionate, expert guidance on one of the most common but least discussed patterns of self-neglect — a book that helps people-pleasers understand why they do it and how to stop.
