Is your relationship ok, but could be better? Has your relationship gone a little stale? Is your relationship in difficulty and you'd like help but are not quite at the stage of turning to Relationship Counselling? If you answered Yes to any of the above then you will benefit from attending this 1 hour training session. Steve Mash, who is leading the session, has been a counsellor for 30 years and has learned a few things about counselling and coaching couples. Why settle for a GOOD relationship when you could have a GREAT relationship!?"

Led by Rozeena Sujjad, Drama Therapist, this creative therapeutic group will focus on building confidence and self-esteem together for women, by women. It features personal development, identification of strengths and self-expression. The group will be a safe place, infused with interactive, creative and therapeutic games and activities, which enable attendees to Reflect, Engage, Aspire, Create and Transform! It will also be a place to meet likeminded female peers, and perhaps develop some new friendships.

Chi Yoga sessions are suitable for beginners or those with some experience in yoga or tai chi who want to have a deeper understanding of how to support the health and wellbeing of their mind and body. The class offers you the opportunity to learn practices to both energise and calm the body and mind, which you can use outside the sessions to maintain states of relaxed alertness. Each session will start with fun warm ups and activating movements which will prepare you for an Energy Block Release sequence. The sequences along with other yoga and tai chi practices will work progressively on physical, psychological and energetic levels to build deeper strength, flexibility and alignment of the mind and body. The session will end with a four stage relaxation which hopefully will leave you relaxed, alert and rejuvenated!

£5 Alternate Tuesdays 7pm-8pm

Suitable for all levels of meditation experience, this one-hour guided meditation class is a relaxing and reflective experience which aims to leave you feeling peaceful and positive. In this session, we will focus on connecting ourselves to the present moment, releasing any physical or psychological tension and calming our mind, body and soul. Chairs will be provided but please feel free to bring any mats or cushions with you if you would prefer to meditate on the floor. You may want to bring a blanket with you for comfort and/or warmth as your body relaxes throughout the session.

Steve Mash is a Counsellor and Life Coach, with additional training in family and relationship work. He will be leading this 1hr workshop.

Peer Supervision : small cost share of £3-£5. CPD - variable fee.

If you are a therapist who would value some space to meet other practitioners, build your networking presence, gain affordable CPD or make use of peer supervision opportunities, join our group (email to register your interest, here).  At our last session, we considered therapeutic endings and the impact of monetary transactions on the therapeutic relationship with clients. Previously, Cal Nield led reflections on the theory and practice of Cognitive Analytical Therapy and Dr Bobby Sura offered a workshop on 'Re-authoring the Story of your Life", based on Narrative Therapy principles. 

What to expect from the Workshop:

The workshop is led by Mark Simmonds, who has a long experience in working with young people and adolescents both in CAMHS and other teaching environments.  The workshop lasts 2½ hours and is focussed on managing stress and anxiety around revision and exams for those in secondary school. Participants will understand their stress and anxiety, how it affects them and what they can do about it, including:

• Stressful thoughts and how to beat them

• Coping responses when under pressure

• Distraction and relaxation techniques

• Useful apps, websites and resources for wellbeing
