Previous course participants said:

“I signed up because I was struggling with anxiety and panic attacks, Juliet was amazing and since doing the course I haven’t had a panic attack, would highly recommend.”

 “I was nervous as I knew there would be a bit of group sharing but I very quickly settled, and the group became a really great support network for me. I got so much out of the shared experience part; I realised I wasn’t alone and that other colleagues were struggling too. What a powerful course – I’ve been telling everybody to it!”

“Thank you, Juliet, you helped me manage my anxiety more effectively. Thanks so much again for your positivity!”

Is this course right for me . . .

This course might feel a little different from others you’ve done before, as it places a strong emphasis on shared experience and we appreciate that approach might not suit everyone. However, we truly believe there’s real value, power, and strength in learning and sharing with others.

Before signing up, take a moment to consider whether this style of course feels right for you. That said, feedback from past participants shows that supportive group sessions like this can be genuinely transformative, even life-changing. So why not give it a go?
