Covid-19 Virus

*UPDATE - Our practitioners are now remote working. Please contact us to enquire about Skype sessions*

As the Covid-19 virus continues to challenge many of our well-established patterns of working and living the Craigie Partnership is reviewing our own working practices and the welfare of our clients and practitioners.

Here are a few key points:
end of summer time...
The stunning view below was taken from our offices in the centre of Edinburgh. The change in clocks means we can now witness some amazing sights as the lights of the city strive to keep away the darkness in the early evening. However, for many of us, the change in light can impact upon our mood and energy. Some suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) but even those who don't can find this a time of year when we feel run down and it can be difficult to motivate ourselves. Others will find themselves in a reflective mood - about work, family, relationships and so on.

Pitfalls in Effective Communication

As part of our blog series giving practitioner tips, today's article focuses on communication and relationships. This article was written by Dr Alistair McBeath, Chartered Psychologist at the Craigie Partnership.

At the heart of most relationship difficulties is one over-riding factor and that is poor or ineffective communication. Some attempts at communication even seem to make matters worse. How does this happen?
Post-Valentine's Reality
Valentine's Day brings mixed emotions to the fore for many of us. While some enjoy the day as an opportunity to celebrate love, for others it can be an incredibly painful time. Stress, pressure, expectation, and for many people, an in-your-face reminder that others have what we can only dream about or hope for.
Supporting our Frontline workers

During these difficult times, many individuals and organisations have been doing amazing things to help the most vulnerable in our society. For several weeks, the nation took time out to applaud our frontline workers and carers, as a small way of showing our appreciation.
UPDATE: Covid 19 guidelines (22nd Sept 2020)
