Owen O’Kane is a psychotherapist, speaker and author of the globally acclaimed book, ‘Ten To Zen’.

He has over 25 years experience in the mental health sector and is a former NHS Mental Health Clinical lead, who now runs a successful private practice in London.

Owen’s experiences have provided him with the necessary skills to analyse any mental, emotional or stress related issue with the utmost efficiency. He believes that a great mind warrants unprecedented improvements for every aspect of daily working life.

Owen grew up in Northern Ireland during ‘The Troubles,’ which was the perfect training ground for understanding the anxious mind due to the conflict and fear that existed in the region. As a former palliative care nurse, Owen heard first-hand the biggest regrets people have on their death beds and as a result, learnt about the stresses and worries we shouldn’t hold onto.

On release, ‘Ten To Zen’ shot straight in at Number 3 on Amazon’s Bestsellers, being beaten to the top 2 spots by Michelle Obama and Joe Wicks. His book has become celebrity-approved too, with Fearne Cotton, Judge Rinder, Eamonn Holmes, Ashley Banjo, Kelly Holmes, Joe Wicks, Saira Khan, Jack Monroe and many more praising the book.

Owen is a regular contributor to press, news and tv, working with Good Morning Britain, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC News, Sky News, ITV News, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Sun, MailOnline, BBC Radio London, GQ, Big Issue and Evening Standard… to name a few!
