Psychotherapist Sasha Maye is coming to share some ideas about how to look after the Grinch in your life, in your community or in yourself at Christmas. She’ll remind us to look out for people with alternative experiences of this season.

Sasha is running for the first time this year in Folkestone, a series of group therapy sessions in the run-up to Christmas at the Folkestone bookshop, offering people that feel a bit Grinchy or ambivalence towards Christmas a place to be and to share in these.
