Self Help Techniques for Anxiety and Trauma (6 week workshop)

Join us for a 6-week workshop programme where you'll learn techniques to handle anxiety and bounce back from tough times.
About this Event

A small, safe, and supportive group space.

This course offers practical techniques to help calm the nervous system and reduce anxiety, overwhelm, and trauma-related responses.

Instead, we focus on working with your neurobiology — helping you discover and strengthen pathways that support calm and regulation.
