Coronavirus Counselling and Psychotherapy Message

---

Events as they are unfolding throughout the world affect us in different ways: 

some of us feel unsettled, worried and anxious for themselves or for the lives of family and friends with underlying health-issues. Others feel puzzled about the focus of the world upon Covid-19, when during the same time far more people die e.g. sepsis related deaths. Some people feel angry as they lost trust in politicians and media to tell the facts, e.g. given that some of the statistics don’t make sense, showing a 2% death-rate or above, when there is still a lack of testing (i.e. if more people would be tested, we might find a vastly increased number of people infected with the virus with mild symptoms, but with the same death-toll this might bring the statistics down to perhaps 0.05% death-rate (as on the date of writing this is case e.g. in Germany), or even further down. Others feel a weird sense of calm and relief that something in our world had to change with the focus upon material things loosing the grip over them. Some embark on practicing mindfulness, endeavouring to come away from these times with meaningful insights about the lives we live and take at times for granted. Some feel a sense of increasing care and concern emerging for our planet, for humankind, for loved ones and for more balance within ourselves.

Many more feelings are evoked, including opposing feelings.

Some of us feel a mixture of the above. 

Holistic wellbeing is always important and during coronavirus counselling can be a source for support, comfort and  calm and inner growth promotion. 

With this message I would like to reassure you, that during these intense times I remain committed to the work I love, to working with you. 

Your well-being and safety are central and at the heart of my decision making. 

Respecting the government’s decision from the 23rd March 2020 requesting people to “stay at home”, I therefor will be offering with immediate effect your appointments as online therapy /virutal therapy by phone or Skype, until you hear from me otherwise. Details following on the next pages.

Keep looking after yourselves 

and others,

Warmly,

Nicola
