We are moving into a new phase as the coronavirus pandemic unfolds. We are still in a fast-moving story and none of us knows what the autumn and winter will bring.

The weather is getting better and there is a hint of summer in the air. Children are going back to school and offices are beginning to open up again. You might think that in a time like this, therapists would be having a much quieter time. Shouldn’t this relatively good news be bringing happiness and a sense of that things are improving at last?

Seeing many clients who feel like this.
Is it just me or do these Easter hols seem really hard? The kids have only just adjusted to going back to school, nothing is open, weather keeps changing, playdates still aren't technically allowed and I've only just got back into the swing of things with work. Not easy, is it?!
