The brand new Forres Counselling Blog
We are two psychotherapists who are passionate about sharing useful tools for dealing with real life mental health difficulties. So as part of our website, we thought it may be helpful to start a blog where we take turns to offer therapeutic tips that may help with day-to-day life. Of course, nothing beats talking therapies if you’re struggling, but to steal a supermarket tag line, every little helps.
