Safe Space Wellbeing Workshops
"The greatest challenge of life is how to enjoy it" - Nathaniel Brandon
Welcome
The idea of offering group support and well-being workshops/courses has originated from benefiting greatly from my own personal and professional experience in a group setting; as a psychotherapist, artist and as a parent.
In a rapidly changing world that has given way to significant transitions on a collective and personal level, I became aware of a deep isolation and an increasing need for individuals to experience a deeper sense of connection to themselves, others and their environment.
What I aim to give in any workshop/group session is an experience that will enable individuals to respond to ourselves and others in a more constructive way, allowing us to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
The workshops are comprised of a sharing space (not compulsory), learning, practical exercises and an experience of guided visualisation/meditation. In the more creative sessions there is also a space to create your own pieces, experiment and play! Please see below for a list of workshops.
My hope is that out of our individual and collective chaos will emerge, in time, a more accepting, compassionate and enlightened state of consciousness.
I am also open collaboration with other holistic practitioners, and very much look forward to meeting you if you wish to get in touch!
‘Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage’ - Anais Nin
If you feel that you, your team/organisation, or any other existing group would benefit from emotional support and creative input, please do get in touch.

What to expect in the Workshops:
Although the sessions aren’t group therapy, they do have a sharing element to them so I generally begin with highlighting the importance of group guidelines and boundaries.
I work intuitively and organically, so there is no fixed format for the sessions; however I will offer space to share and discuss issues relating to the theme of that particular workshop, and can include psycho-education, practical exercises, creative visualisation excercises (guided imagery) meditation techniques and space for feedback and questions.
Again, none of the above are compulsary-participants are welcome to enegage with whatever feels comfortable for them.
I can offer recommended reading/resources following the sessions, and can signpost to further support if requested.
