These are difficult times for everyone, including therapists and counsellors. As so many people have had work contracts cancelled or incomes shrunk as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent quarantine, many therapists are themselves struggling with their livelihood.

At welldoing.org we are confident that therapy is one of things that will help us all pull through this crisis. The training and experience of our members is a powerful force for re-setting people, and helping them accept and adapt to these constrained conditions. We are making clear to the world that our therapists are still working and available to new clients.

We have pushed forward our technical development to introduce two initiatives that many of our therapists have adopted:

• WELLDOING  NHS OFFER, whereby therapists and counsellors offer free online therapy sessions to NHS workers through the UK. The terms of the offer- how many sessions, how many clients therapists will make the offer to - is entirely up to each individual therapist.
