I started to think about what the 80-year old me might say to myself about this pandemic and living through this period of time. I was to imagine being an 80 year old version of myself and if that version of me was sitting sharing a cup of tea with someone and they wanted to know about living through the pandemic and what I had learnt from it, then what would it be? What things would I have learnt through it?
I’ve recently been referred a client who rang me and asked me if they could ask me some questions. I told them something I say to all my new clients: “I may not necessarily be your cup of tea”. And this is important, because how clients choose a counsellor or therapist is very important, and there’s some criteria I have used in the past to identify for myself whether a counsellor I was seeing was the right fit for me.
