Professional Counselling & Guidance for Life

The 8 Week Course
" I didn't know what to expect upon joining the mindfulness course, and very quickly I realised I was out of my comfort zone. I'd learnt to keep things hidden, not discuss my feelings, and suppress a lot of what was inside, Katy created the most comfortable, relaxing space where I could tune into myself. Along the way I learnt so much more than I had expected, and met the most incredible and honest group of people. Hearing their stories inspired me, and pushed me every week to dig a bit deeper. This course gave me skills that I now use every day to be mindful and to take care of myself, understand my feelings, and make conscious choices.. I'd recommend this to anyone"
This course is for anyone who wishes to gain a stronger and deeper connection to this experience we call life!
​
By making space to be with our lives, as they are happening, instead of just moving through them habitually, we can learn to widen our perspectives and make better, more conscious and supportive choices on how we connect with ourselves, those around us and the world we live in

Summary of the course
-
The aim of the course is to learn new ways to handle our moods and emotions.
-
It teaches us to take better care of ourselves so that we are able to live our lives in a fuller and healthier way.
-
It promotes a way of being that helps us tackle life problems – physical, mental, social and emotional
-
The focus of the mindfulness practice is to learn to be aware of the small changes in the physical sensations in your body; what is happening in the world around you (using your physical senses) and your thoughts, emotions and moods.
-
The course programme encourages us to develop the skill of being aware of our experiences (good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant) from moment to moment -so that we can learn to respond more skilfully to situations rather than simply reacting automatically.
-
Overall, the course is often helpful in dealing with an ongoing difficulty – the problem may not change but the way we can learn to relate to it can.
