If you miss 2 sessions we will close you to the groups, but you are welcome to re-refer to the next scheduled group. We will also limit the numbers to a maximum of 14 members at any one time. This is not group counselling – you do not have to share experiences with the group.

Each member of the group agrees to adhere to a contract at the start that sets out the guidelines and expectations for being a member of the group. It’s there to ensure that everyone knows their boundaries and what is expected of them.

MINDFULNESS Course

We will teach you some simple but surprisingly effective techniques drawn from the Zen tradition to help you manage your everyday life, deal with stress and pain, improve your concentration and focussing skills, and boost your general health and wellbeing.

This course is suitable if you’re looking for an introduction to mindfulness and meditation, and/or if you’re looking for a way of dealing with stress-related problems, depression, chronic-fatigue, or pain.

Please Note - This Mindfulness course is generally designed to cultivate awareness, focus, and a non-judgmental presence in the present moment. While it can be beneficial for managing stress and promoting overall well-being, it is not a substitute for trauma-focused therapies. Trauma requires specialized approaches and professional guidance. If someone has experienced trauma, it's crucial for them to seek appropriate help and support from trained mental health professionals.
