ALL ABOUT DR AUDREY

Since 2014, my work has focused on bringing psychology out of theory and into everyday life particularly in how we live, lead, and relate to ourselves and others. I believe meaningful transformation doesn’t happen through tick-box exercises, but where psychological insight meets real-world expression.
This philosophy underpins everything...it's not enough to think it, change only happens through practice.
I’m Dr Audrey Tang - a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the BPS, speaker, broadcaster, and business author specialising in wellbeing, leadership, and embodied confidence.
Confidence building has been integral to everything I do - beginning in education, where I trained as a teacher in 2003 and went on to lead both Drama and Psychology departments. It was also here that I first became fascinated by the emotional demands placed on professionals - not just what we do, but how we are expected to feel while doing it. This led me to doctoral research exploring emotional labour in client-facing roles, and how these hidden expectations can contribute to burnout when unsupported.

I am the author of multiple books on leadership and wellbeing, published by Pearson and the Financial Times, including the Head, Heart, Gut trilogy. My work translates psychological science into practical tools that support sustainable change, performance, resilience, and authentic leadership - again not just in principle, but practically.
Alongside this, I have built a strong presence in broadcast media. I produce and present the podcast Mental Health Matters, a platform dedicated to ensuring wellbeing content remains expert-led, evidence-based, and accessible. My broadcast-standard studio also offers a safe space for professionals to develop the confidence to communicate their work publicly.
Because confidence building and transformational change must be embedded, my work extends beyond traditional formats. I am an advocate of “Modern Burlesque” for confidence, identity, and self-expression. Through this style of dance, I support women in reconnecting with themselves beyond roles, expectations, and narratives they may have outgrown.
In 2023, I founded the CLICK Arts Foundation, which funds grassroots creative projects across the Midlands. This initiative reflects my commitment to the psychological power of the arts in building confidence, connection, and community wellbeing - and to creating accessible pathways for expression beyond clinical or corporate settings.
Alongside my own work, I regularly contribute as a media psychologist, bringing evidence-based insight into public conversations around wellbeing, burnout, behaviour, and relationships. Whether through speaking, writing, broadcasting, or teaching, my focus remains the same:
To bridge the gap between psychological science and real life and to help people not just function well, but live and lead with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
