SUMMARY:Anxiety in the Modern World: A Conversation with Joshua Fletcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a laid-back conversation with Joshua Fletcher\, ahead of his new book Same Time Next Week\, which comes out on May 14. The conversation will be hosted by Zena Nicholas\, founder of The Counsellors’ Staffroom. \nWe’ll be chatting AI\, optimisation culture and the idea of “curated calm”. \nAs we’ve come to expect from Josh\, Same Time Next Week is an honest and grounded look at living with anxiety in the modern world. \nAt a time when many people are turning to AI for support before they turn to another human\, the book brings things back to relationships\, messiness and the parts of experience that don’t fit neatly into a prompt box. \nThrough the stories of four clients\, alongside his own reflections\, Josh explores how anxiety takes shape\, what keeps it going\, and how we might begin to live alongside it differently. \nHaving received an early copy\, I can say that if you enjoyed And How Does That Make You Feel\, you’ll definitly enjoy this book too. Alongside accessible psychoeducation around anxiety and OCD\, it offers something more relational. It brings us back to our own humanity as therapists\, that we don’t have to have everything figured out\, and that this isn’t something to fear – but something that can support the work when we allow it. \nIt’ll be a relaxed\, conversational space to hear directly from Josh about the thinking behind the book and to reflect together on what it opens up. \nYou’re very welcome to join us\, whether you’ve read his work before or are just curious about where the conversation might go. \nThe book is published by Orion Publishing Co and is available to pre-order now: https://www.waterstones.com/book/same-time-next-week/joshua-fletcher/9781398713321 \nThis event will be recorded. We’ll confirm after the event whether the recording will be shared. \n\n\nJoshua Fletcher is a psychotherapist based in Manchester\, UK\, working primarily with anxiety disorders. \nAlongside his clinical work\, Josh is the author of several best-selling books on anxiety\, known for making complex experiences more accessible without losing their depth. His work often bridges psychoeducation with lived experience\, something that resonates strongly with both clients and therapists. \nHe also shares his work widely through social media\, where his content on anxiety has reached a large and engaged audience\, alongside his podcast Disordered. \nAt the centre of his work is a focus on helping people understand and live alongside anxiety in ways that feel realistic\, human and sustainable. \n\n\nZena Nicholas is a counsellor and founder of The Counsellors’ Staffroom and CoPractice community. \nHer work centres around creating spaces where therapists can connect\, reflect and develop in ways that feel grounded\, relational and sustainable. Alongside her clinical work\, she curates conversations\, events and communities that bring together lived experience\, practice and ongoing learning. She will be hosting this conversation.
