If sadly battling an eating disorder, the festive period and its food-related traditions can make a difficult time feel even more pressured. Well-meaning relatives may make innocent comments on appearance or what is or isn’t being eaten. BEAT h

Do not be defined or minimised into labels. They are not who you are. Set yourself free. You can make the choice to see yourself beyond a symptom, an experience, a thought or an outburst. You are a whole complex person, who deserves more than to be d

Often, with a new year come new year’s resolutions. These can be quite harsh and judgemental of ourselves. When the initial burst of enthusiasm for the new year falters, we might find ourselves reverting back to the “habit” we vowed
I wanted to create a space for people to set intentions for the new year. An opportunity to try a few experiential exercises to help you realise the life you want to create. This workshop will take place on Monday evenings throughout January (if dem
Everything starts with an intention. Sometimes not obviously, but reflect enough and you will usually find it. As we come to the end of this year with a new year approaching, what are your intentions for yourself? #intentions #goals #manifest #though
Some great suggestions in this post from Tiny Buddah. We can’t assume it’s the most wonderful time of the year for all. For many it is very difficult. To those who have lost people, those battling mental illness that only gets worse with
Great post from @justgirlproject Are you always apologising? Even when you haven’t done anything wrong? Some pointers on how to become aware of this and make changes if desired. #overapologising #wellbeing #mentalhealth #selfreflection #stopsay
Pursuing relationships that are not reciprocated is like pulling a plaster off a wound over and over again. You deserve more. Focus on those who want to be in your life and your life will feel abundant with love, not lacking. Use the pain as an oppor
Very true. Strength comes through adversity. It might not feel like it, if you’re low or at rock bottom. But hang in there - this is not the moment that you realise you’re gaining awareness and are being strong. It will come. Same with re
Boundaries. These are what keep us safe and living an authentic life to ourselves. A life-long habit of people pleasing, which might be driven by fear of loss or underpinned by past trauma, can be very hard to change. I’m not saying it’s
Through exploring our reactions, we can make connections to past trauma. That may have been repressed from our awareness, aside from the reaction. The behaviour may feel like it’s come out of nowhere. But recognising the need to examine our rea

Join us in a small face to face group, which will be held evenings or Saturdays. We will reflect on our thinking patterns, try some experiential exercises to challenge and change these. Look at practices such as meditation, mindfulness, journaling an
