Stress Reduction Workshop:

During this two hour workshop we will explore what is meant by stress and anxiety and how this may lead to debilitating panic attacks. We will look at ways to notice and manage stress, anxiety and panic attacks. There will also be time dedicated to relaxation techniques and handy hints and tips on how to manage stress and anxiety more effectively.

Boost Your Self-esteem:
The word ‘esteem’ comes from a Latin word that means “to estimate’. So it follows that self-esteem is how we estimate or regard ourselves. It’s sometimes helpful to ask ourselves a few questions such as. “Do I think I’m an ‘OK’ person?” and “Do I believe I deserve to be happy?” People with low self-esteem tend to answer these questions negatively. If some or all of this resonates with you this workshop will help you to build your self-esteem and confidence!
During this two hour workshop we will explore what is meant by self-esteem and confidence. We will look at what causes low self-esteem and what can done to improve it, so that we can feel better about ourselves and engage in life in a more confident and fulfilling way.
