      <image:title>About - Counselling in and after the time of COVID</image:title>
      <image:caption>The immediate concern about the spread of the virus may have passed, but I continue to be flexible with delivery of counselling. This means that I can engage with clients online, or, if you are still concerned about the risks of COVID and would prefer in-person sessions, we can wear face coverings and be extra diligent with sanitising the counselling space.</image:caption>
