FEATURED BOOK
Love Is A Skill
By Shelley J Whitehead
Love is something we can learn and keep practising. In Love Is A Skill, Shelley J Whitehead brings together 28 relationship skills to help readers explore how they relate to themselves and others. Moving through the seasons of love, the book offers reflections and practical exercises that readers can return to as their relationships change and grow.
Drawing on personal experience and years of work as a relationship coach, Shelley writes about the patterns we inherit, the choices we make and the ways we can build deeper connection. Her approach invites readers to become more aware of what happens within them and between them and the people they love.

Praise for Love Is A Skill
“You will find this book most useful as a companion: something to return to and reflect on as you undertake your own meaningful journey through life and relationships.”
Dr Anne-Marie Lydall
