The Autumn Issue of International Therapist is Here!

Autumn: the season of change 🍁

Dog walkers pull on their warm jumpers, baristas begin to sprinkle pumpkin spice on their hot drinks, and fallen leaves frame the floor like patterned mosaics.

Autumn is a chance for us to witness all the fantastic possibilities of the world around us.

Reflecting this, the theme for this edition focuses on expanding
your mindset and exploring new horizons.
