@Rosgood2talk On Monday I start renting a therapy room which is in a physio clinic on the site of a gym. I'm very interested in the mind and body link and wonder what clients this clinic space might attract

Thank you Mads. Well done for being such a fab team leader through a very challenging year

[Maddi_OT @maddi_ot]

Really enjoyed our team Christmas quiz hosted by the lovely @LRooneyPsych on our lunch break yesterday. Great to do something fun as a team, we had lots of laughs. Feeling proud of my team for everything they’ve pushed on through this year. #proud #mentalhealthteam

I'd really recommend Brain Surgeons: between life and death on channel 4 right now. Prof Roz McCarthy is my supervisor and a wonderful neuropsychologist. Love watching her in action in the operating theatre @UHSFT @Smile4Wessex

@David75593181 @AvenueTherapies Hi David. I'm afraid I don't message on here as I'm not sure how secure it is. As I said do contact @AvenueTherapies for support if you wish to. Their website is https://t.co/DZyK2HUhA7 and there's a contact form there

Looking forward to a week off work this week. I've worked full time for the NHS and also doing extra Zoom private clinics from the beginning of lockdown. It's been a real privilege supporting people who have been finding this time full of anxiety and now I'm having a rest

[Dr Lauren Rooney @LRooneyPsych]

Come and work with our lovely Older Adult Mental Health Team in the New Forest. We specialise in great shared lunches, funny chat and lots of support

Really enjoying Russ Harris' online training webinar on bringing Compassion into Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) this morning. I'm being self compassionate by doing it in my garden @contextconsult

[Dr Lauren Rooney @LRooneyPsych]

I'm continuing to follow @BPSOfficial and NHS guidelines in my private work and work remotely via phone and video software for now, but I'm still taking on new referrals. Contact @AvenueTherapies if you'd like to discuss starting therapy in Bournemouth

@andrewjohnson Thank you so much. I'll send them the links 🌈

[Dr Lauren Rooney @LRooneyPsych]

I've been really focussing on regular mindfulness for myself, my clients and the NHS staff I support recently. Today I discovered @andrewjohnson on the insight timer meditation app and I'm so pleased I did! His voice is wonderful and I feel very refreshed!

[Dr Lauren Rooney @LRooneyPsych]

@LiamJGilligan I work in opmh and many of my clients don't have a computer or iPad. I'm asking them to sit with a pad of paper and a pen and we're drawing the formulation together while on the phone

[Dr John O'Sullivan @PsychOSullivan]

My best friend everyone. A wonderful OT and a wonderful person

[Sarah Brazier @SLBrazier3]

This week I offered to not rotate in my #occupationaltherapy role. I will carry on working in a&e for six months, getting people home from hospital safely, leaving beds clear for those in need. These are hard times for the #nhs, we need to support each other where we can.
