Paperback Party: Just About Coping: Dr Natalie Cawley

​"Like an Adam Kay for psychotherapy" - Frankie Boyle. ​

​Join us for an evening with Dr Natalie Cawley to celebrate the paperback launch of her new book Just About Coping (on publication day itself!).

​Your ticket includes entry to the launch, plus a glass of wine or a soft drink on arrival.

​Touching, thought-provoking, and incredibly funny, Natalie was the first event we hosted as a bookshop during the hardback launch of Just About Coping. So, we're incredibly excited to welcome her back for an evening of stories and celebration.

​Meet other readers and discover the things your therapist won't tell you!

​​About the book

​​At the psychologist's clinic of an NHS hospital, Noah needs help with procrastination, Bill compulsively lies, Steph is coping with rejection and their therapist, Dr Natalie Cawley, is dealing with her own emotional crisis, breathing into a paper bag between patient sessions.

In this honest, often poignant and frequently funny memoir about training to be a psychotherapist, we meet the patients grappling with mental health issues. From OCD and addiction to self-deception and toxic relationships, Dr Natalie helps them understand and change these attempts to self-soothe.

Full of lightbulb moments, Just About Coping is a journey into our inner worlds, where the drama of our break-ups, breakdowns and breakthroughs takes place. In times of stress and suffering, Dr Natalie reveals, we are all just about coping. None of us is immune – not even your therapist.
