Book Therapy - Invidious

Book Therapy

Passionate about literature, psychology, and life I launched Book Therapy (www.booktherapy.io) as an alternative to therapy using literature. I train mental health professionals, librarians, teachers and readers on bibliotherapy through our online Bibliotherapy, Literature & Mental Health course. We also curate reading lists/personalised book prescriptions for clients based on individual needs.

Check out Book Therapy’s free reading lists/A- Z of book prescriptions across fiction/non-fiction for adults & kids, covering mental health themes (e.g anxiety, job change, relationship heartache) and interests (e.g memoir, historical fiction, crime etc). I've published a book called The Happiness Mindset and undertaken bibliotherapy workshops for the UN, libraries and corporates. My book recommendations have featured in the Guardian, Marie Claire, NBC News, BBC, Independent and other publications. Parents might enjoy my podcast on Raising A Reader&Storyteller.Email me @ bijal@booktherapy.io
