Take a moment to show yourself some kindness. You’re doing your best, and that’s enough. Self-compassion isn’t about being perfect; it’s about accepting yourself, flaws and all.

A HUGE shout-out to @Plan-UK for our free desks, and to @WeAreAnyVan for delivering them for free! This means we can use our space more flexibly, and our team can create workspaces in the counselling rooms without perching laptops on their knees. Thank you! #MagicVanMoves
