Group Sessions and Workshops
Groups are a great way of meeting like minded individuals, share learning, reduce isolation, and have some fun with our practice!
Group sessions are based on the principles and practice of teaching in Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). These sessions are for people who want to come and learn the tools and techniques, meet other people also wanting to improve their lives and wellbeing, and who don't want to share lots of detailed personal or private information about themselves.
Sessions are often creative and playful and we weave in lots of practice and examples to bring the skills to life. The sessions are clearly structured and we work methodically through the core DBT skills together, meaning there are never any surprises.
The joy of groups is that often people might ask questions you hadn't considered, or a discussion will happen where new ideas and thoughts are generated. Hearing and being with someone else who shares similar experiences can also be extremely validating and helpful for us as individuals.
Skills for Mental Health Wellness
Spring 2025
Skills for Mental Health is a 13 week long, DBT-informed group which runs for 2 hours a week and covers all the core skills taught in DBT. These skills set us up with the foundations for good mental health throughout our lives and are broken into 4 Modules. This group is for anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing, learn more techniques to help them regulate their emotions, want to improve their relationships (with others and with themselves) and know how to manage their wellbeing.
The four modules are briefly outlined below. If you are interested then use the contact form to get in touch. Spaces are limited for the next group. The total cost to attend is £780 which includes all handouts, refreshments, and your introductory call.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is a core component of DBT and provides a foundation for all other skills taught. It involves the practice of being fully present in the moment, with a non-judgmental and accepting attitude. Ultimately, it enhances our self awareness, helps us learn to begin regulating our emotions, and helps us navigate life's challenges.
Distress Tolerance
Distress tolerance skills enable us to tolerate painful or problematic thoughts and emotions without making them worse. So, for example, they could be used if feeling frustrated with a child / partner to prevent us from snapping at them. Or could be used to accept painful situations that are out of our control which helps reduce our suffering overall.
Emotional Regulation
Learn here how to name and change your emotional responses in a way that is helpful rather than harmful. We also cover how to reduce our vulnerability to problematic emotions in the first place and how to build confidence, reduce symptoms of depression, and increase pleasant events in our life.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Other people and our interactions with them can undoubtedly impact on our mental health. We cover in the last weeks of the session how to ask for what we need and so no confidently, put boundaries in place, and also take care of our relationships - both with other people AND most importantly our relationship with ourselves.

Wouldn't it be great if, at the end of the day, you could leave the stresses of work at work and focus on enjoying time at home? Whether that's enjoying spending time with your children or partner, seeing friends, or genuinely enjoying doing nothing (rather than sitting with thoughts rushing around your mind).
If you ever find yourself worrying about everything you've got waiting for you tomorrow or get caught up about things that happened in this past this is the course for you.
Come and learn how to focus your mind. Develop all the tools and skills you need to begin working on reducing your suffering and increasing joy. Move away from judgements and towards seeing things just as they are.
This would be my recommended place to start if you are feeling unsure.

This is a single 2 hour session where you will learn how to:
- Recognise your warning signs of stress
- Understand what you are already doing that helps reduce your stress
- Understand what you're doing that might not be so helpful
- Learn new ways of managing stress
- Practice some relaxation techniques you can use at home while in session.
This session focuses on finding helpful ways of managing the stresses that come with life and remind us that stress is a normal part of life we have to learn to navigate.
So if you're feeling exhausted and burnt out this can be a helpful beginning to learning ways to manage this experience.
