About the author
Dr Natalie Cawley is a Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist with an BSc, MSc and PsychD in Psychology. She has worked and trained in both the NHS and private practice throughout her career.
Natalie has specialised in working with health populations including cancer and diabetes within paediatric and adult services across several NHS trusts. Natalie has specialised in looked after children services for over ten years. She works from an attachment model and considers herself to be an attachment-based practitioner. The attachment framework now informs her work as the lead psychologist within a specialist service for complex young people with extensive trauma histories and presentations in the care system. Attachment informs her special interest in interpersonal relating, romantic relationships and connection, which she feels is the heart of our psychological and emotional functioning.

Just About Coping
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, is dealing with her own emotional crisis, breathing into a paper bag between patient sessions.
In this lively and honest memoir of training to be a psychotherapist, we meet the patients grappling with mental health issues, from OCD and addiction to self-deception and self-harming, and see how Dr Natalie helps them understand and change these attempts to self-soothe.
Funny, poignant and full of ‘aha’ 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.
