Welcome

Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness is defined as "the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment" (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). Join an 8 week course and learn how to weave the principles, underlying mechanisms and practical application of mindfulness into daily life. Courses are open to anyone who wishes to improve their physical, emotional and psychological well being.
A Peaceful Retreat
The Retreat is a purpose built property, designed and constructed especially to create a calm place for you to come and engage. Here, you can put aside the pressures of daily life and feel the peace of our quiet surroundings without distractions of the outside world.

Once upon a time, this was me! I plodded through my days not really engaging in or enjoying what I did. It wasnt that I wasn't good at my job because I was and that was one of the reasons that I stayed for as long as I did. It wasn't even that my job was boring or lacked variety ... it just wasn't for me. And yet I stayed there because deep down I didn't believe that I could do anything different and because I had no idea what else I could do. Until I met a fabulous coach who inspired me and challenged me to really understand myself and change my mindset about what I was capable of achieving and I've never looked back. If you find yourself now in the position that I was, then get in touch. I have availability for both coaching and counselling in Leicestershire/ Northamptonshire so if you're just waiting for lunch and home time to come around and would like to explore how life could be different, give me a call!
As a Human Givens therapist I was taught about the critical physical and emotional function of sleep at the outset of my training so it's interesting to hear continuing research that backs up that 7-8 hours sleep is critical for long term health and the recognition that lack of sleep is a growing health crisis. Perhaps a good time to think about your own sleep and review whether you are really getting enough and if you are providing yourself with the best conditions to get a really good night's sleep. And if sleep is something that you're struggling with, it might be worth a chat with a trained HG therapist or someone who specialises in sleep to get you back on track. Remember, sleep is for the healthy - don't let anyone tell you that getting a good night's sleep makes you weak. It's time to break the idea that success means minimal sleep and that sleep is somehow a luxury. Let's get back to a more balanced attitude towards our beds because the right amount of the right sleep is a necessity!!
I often find when working with clients that they are very focused on being nice to others and forget to show themselves the same level of kindness. It's worth remembering that the stories that we tell ourselves aren't a secret - the people around us pick up on them, whether we mean for them to or not. So when we aren't nice to ourselves we can be inviting and indirectly giving others permission to behave towards us in the same way ... we know that if we want other people to behave or respond in a certain positive way then role modelling that behaviour is a good way to help them to do that - and it's worth remembering that this is true of any behaviour and not necessarily the ones we want other people to copy! So be nice to others and be nice to yourself - role model the treatment you want to receive from others by doing it to yourself first!
Embrace your difference. One man's weed is another man's flower. We all have something that makes us special ... just because other people cant see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist and that we can't enjoy what makes us unique.
Depression isn't just "in your head" - it can affect the whole body. It can make you ache, upset your digestion, leave you feeling exhausted and impact your sex drive just for starters. It's important to remember that our brains and our emotions are part of our overall mind-body system and that when we're feeling low, the effect can extend far beyond our mood!
