As the weather turns colder and the nights draw in, I have been keeping an eye on local Covid-19 rates and wondering what the winter will bring…
Here in Cambridge rates seem to be fairly low but fluctuating (more info about this here) so I am keen to keep a cautious but sensible approach to working in person over the next few months.
If you are considering working with me in person, then here is what I am asking clients to sign up to:
- Please don’t come if you have any symptoms or if you have reason to suspect you may have the virus, or have been ‘pinged’. And should there be any doubt, I am asking that you please consider very carefully whether you could have a session online instead until results are confirmed.
- Please continue to wear a mask until you are seated inside the counselling room.
- Please sanitize your hands at the gate when you arrive.
- The room will be kept as ventilated as possible, so this may mean it is a little cooler than usual: please consider wearing extra layers, popping your coat back on, or using a blanket to stay a comfortable temperature (I have a few spare blankets available for this reason).
- I will be taking weekly lateral flow tests, and you may wish to consider doing the same.
- I am double-vaccinated and will get my booster jab as soon as I am able. Please let me know if you are NOT vaccinated.
I hope this is approach is sustainable, not too much bother, but also provides a safe environment for in-person therapy. And lets hope things continue to improve as we advance towards 2022…
Take care,
Anna
