Natalie is a psychotherapist and this book covers her journey through therapy - as the person delivering the treatment and as the patient. It's written in the present tense and is so easy to read and get into that it feels almost novel like at points.
Real life patients stories are interwoven with Crawley's own life and experience but it never feels glorified nor dramatised - it's written empathetically. I enjoyed the insight into physiotherapy and if you like real-life stories, you'll enjoy this.

Thank you to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan/ Picador and Dr Natalie Cawley for this ARC, an interesting and captivating read which made me feel all manner of emotions as I was reading it. Honest, frank and not scared to share some of the deepest thoughts and experiences that Natalie has, I was moved by this novel not only because of the honesty but because of the knowledge and peppering of experiences with clients and their range of issues and disorders. Informative and personal all at the same time. There were elements omitted due to legal I’m sure but the latter part felt rushed as a result. Overall I really enjoyed this book.

Hilarious, brilliant, brutal and honest. Everything I hoped it would be! Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Just About Coping is a timely memoir by Cawley and is about her psychotherapist training times. Although, this can be classified as a memoir, it is the collection of real-life stories of the patients she met during that training. Please note that the author has changed names, and combined some cases.

This is a great read. Cawley is surely good at her fields of expertise, and is a caring person.

While I enjoyed the richness of the stories, at times I wished the structure and the prose were a bit different, but this is mostly a matter of personal taste and I highly recommend this book to those who are interested in human pscyhe.

As someone going through some stuff at the moment not in relationship to this, but involving health I could definitely relate to these characters trying to cope with everyday life. I look forward to reading about each of their journeys and hopefully they are able to achieve inner peace with each of their issues.
