About this listen

Including an exclusive bonus conversation between the narrator and the author, Dr Natalie Cawley.

'I loved this witty, insightful journey into the world of psychotherapy' –
Raynor Winn, bestselling author of The Salt Path

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 Cawley, is dealing with her own emotional crisis, breathing into a paper bag between patient sessions.

In this honest, often poignant and frequently funny memoir about training to be a psychotherapist, we meet the patients grappling with mental health issues. From OCD and addiction to self-deception and toxic relationships, Dr Natalie helps them understand and change these attempts to self-soothe.

Full of lightbulb 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.

Engaging from start to finish!

I was hooked from the first page. It's a fantastic memoir both brilliantly written and expertly read. The book strikes the perfect balance between personal accounts and psychological theory. I've even picked up some practical coping strategies along the way.

I picked up some interesting tips.

Very engaging but also educational . The author explains the story inner workings of the mind really well and I had several insights into my own psychology. A nice a friendly feeling book. I bet she’s a great therapist.

A heartfelt and Hilarious companion

This book feels like a heartfelt conversation with a friend who truly gets you. Dr. Natalie doesn’t just offer advice—she opens the door to her own world and shares personal stories alongside those of her patients. This deeply personal approach makes her guidance feel authentic and relatable, helping you tackle life with real, down-to-earth strategies. Plus, her witty humor adds a delightful touch that makes the reading experience both comforting and entertaining. If you’re looking for a book that’s both practical and funny, this one is a gem. Highly recommended!

An insightful and well read book

Gosh where to start. I had been waiting for this book as soon as I heard the writer talking about it in a podcast.
It was different to any book I’ve read but in a good way.
Blending the reality of life with the day to day work.
As someone who has been in therapy and knows the importance of receiving such support. My life has improved greatly because of it. So for me, it was great to hear things from the therapist’s point of view,
Showing such humanity and honesty. I enjoyed it from start to finish. Highly recommend!
