Every family has a story
£10.99Every family has a story
Relationships fundamentally influence our health and happiness – and family is the only relationship that we cannot leave, however much we might like to. But we think too narrowly about the impact of our families on our lives. ‘Every Family Has A Story’ sees bestselling psychotherapist Julia Samuel turn from her work with individuals to sessions with a wide variety of families. Diving deep into eight case studies, with her usual storytelling panache and the latest academic research, she analyses a range of common issues including separation, step-relationships, leaving home, trauma and loss.

Gentle guidance
£14.99Gentle guidance
Parents, teachers, carers – whatever our role in a child’s life, we all want them to thrive. There are many moments of joy in our relationships with our children: but what about those times we’re faced with defiance, disruption and seemingly endless cycles of negativity? Miserable for the child and exhausting for those around them – and almost all completely avoidable. From everyday frustrations to more extreme manifestations, these behaviours may present differently but they are all rooted in one common thread: a need for emotional safety. When a child feels secure and truly heard, their behaviour is transformed. Marie Gentles draws on her decades of expertise supporting children across the behavioural spectrum, along with their parents and teachers, to show us how to establish positive relationships that bring out the best in our children.

Helen grew up on a farm in Cumbria and credits her deep connection with nature and family for grounding her throughout the experiences in her life. ‘In My Stride’ explores the lessons Helen has learned through life and adventure, sharing how getting out in nature can help us heal, grow, and find the resilience to move through challenging times in our lives. It tells stories of finding confidence, authenticity, courage, resilience, acceptance, community, and freedom against the backdrop of life’s peaks and troughs and through the power of the natural world.
