NON-FICTION

Making Friends: A series of warm, supportive guides to help you find the way through life’s biggest challenges.

The books in the Making Friends series provide accessible, practical advice on physical and mental health issues including anxiety, depression and the menopause.

Our books are rooted in personal experience and clinical expertise, and give a succinct and easy-to-read overview of the subject. Each title offers guidance on the most common treatment options available, plus tools, tips and suggestions from a wide range of expert contributors. Illustrations and photographs add another layer of understanding, enabling individuals to care more effectively for themselves and thereby ‘make friends’ or ‘peace’ with difficult emotions.

Below are the titles currently available in English in print and digital format. Making Friends with Anxiety is also available in audio.
