Fearne Cotton revealed that she regularly attends therapy sessions because she “berates herself” and “flirts in self-loathing.”

For the most recent episode of her Happy Place podcast, the 43-year-old compiles a collection of clips about therapy and mental health to assist listeners in “booking their sessions.” Introducing the episode, Fearne said she attends sessions every week and added: “It’s something I definitely don’t wanna miss, don’t feel like I could miss, actually.

” It has helped me insurmountably, it’s kind of hard to explain. I need to constantly find tools to make peace with because it’s helped me because some of the things from the past still bother me so much. That’s a big deal to me because I believe everyone has their own little cycles and habits, and mine is incredibly bad for me.

“I can be a right arsehole to myself internally, berate myself, and fall into self-loathing.” Some of that is “ancient-related””. The TV presenter added to listeners: “Therapy helps me not fall into a self-loathing spiral. It’s helped me massively. I’ll say it’s changed my life, actually”.

Following her shock split from Jesse Wood, Fearne revealed that she was looking forward to her “new era” of life. In December, the actress announced that her husband and daughter were splitting up after ten years of marriage.

Fearne, who shares two children, and 11-year-old son named Rex and eight-year-old daughter called Honey with Jesse, said: “I feel really excited about what’s coming next” during a chat with wellness brand Ancient + Brave, with whom her hit podcast Happy Place has joined forces.

Discussing her “new era”, Fearne said: “With my kids a bit older, I feel I’m in a new era. It’s simple things like walking – if I’m back-to-back recording or I’m on a writing deadline, if I can get an hour’s walk at some point in the day where I just listen to really beautiful music, it makes me feel really happy”.

The radio DJ and podcast host continued: “That is usually enough to just reset me somewhat. I need to schedule in a little fun and be a little loose right away, so what I’m trying to do is go “no” now. That is balance because I had a schedule and the balance had turned the other way for me. I’m really getting back and having fun with people I love is really rewarding.
