Last year saw a dramatic increase of couples seeking therapy as a consequence of new strains on relationships with psychologists and relationship experts suggested that the pandemic has no doubt made people reconsider their relationships, especially as quarantine began to highlight longstanding issues.

This week we talk to Lisa Bruton, a psychotherapist for individuals, families and couples to discuss why it's been so much harder to keep things healthy and how we can ensure that we look after ourselves so we can look after our children. 

If you feel you'd benefit from any of the issues discussed you can contact Lisa at [email protected] or visit www.mind.org.uk for strategies and suggestions on balance, perspective and understanding.
