This 8-week group support programme is designed to help adult survivors of childhood abuse and trauma find healing and empowerment through the principles of Judith Herman's trauma recovery philosophy. The programme aims to create a safe and supportive environment where participants can share their experiences, learn coping strategies, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.

We are excited to announce that we have partnered with our own fully qualified Life Coach. This will allow clients who have gone through our therapy programme to focus on their present and future self. More details to follow soon with sessions starting in April.

Forest bathing or ‘shinrin-yoku’ was first developed in Japan in the 1980s, following scientific studies conducted by the government. The results showed that two hours of mindful exploration in a forest could reduce blood pressure, lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and improve concentration and memory. They also found that trees release chemicals called phytoncides, which have a protective antimicrobial effect on human bodies and thereby boost the immune system. As a result of this research, the Japanese government introduced ‘shinrin-yoku’ as a national health programme.

Learn about the benefits and techniques at our EFT learning workshop in April.

We recently ran our first sound bath session which was well received by all that attended. These sessions will be monthly, let a member of SRFCA know if you would like to book.
