The letter

A short letter from Kensington Square Therapy, once a month, about what tends to be on parents’ minds at that point in the year, and what is new in the library.

Written by the therapists at Kensington Square Therapy, who write the library. It is free, and you can leave at any time.

What comes

The time of year. What the weeks ahead tend to ask of children and of parents, from the first weeks of September to results day.
What is new in the library. The chapters, quick tips and activities we have added, and where to find them.
Nothing else. No offers, and your address goes to no one else.

Your address

We keep your address, when and where you asked for the letter, when you confirmed, and the words you agreed to, and we use them only to send the letter. Every letter has a link to leave, and leaving deletes your address. The privacy policy has the detail.
