Workshops
Welcome to the World of Self-Care.
I facilitate a range of workshops in a variety of contexts including schools, universities and organisations, under the umbrella name of World of Self-Care. My workshops can be adapted to different social contexts and age groups, and are designed to be fun, interactive and creative.
Through creating a safe space for conversations around mental health, self-love and self-care, I aim to give people the tools and confidence to support their own mental health and well-being. I aim to raise awareness of mental health issues and to break down stigmas and misconceptions, as well as providing practical strategies for coping with stress and anxiety.
I have facilitated workshops in academic institutions, brands, charities and organisations such as UAL, Bournemouth University, Red Bull, The Diana Award, and the Southbank Centre.
I am Mental Health First Aid Trained, DBS Checked and Pediatric First Aid Trained.
Please find below a list of my workshops which can be adapted and tailored to meet the needs of your organisation.

Body Image & Social Media (Interactive Workshop)
Research shows that Britain has some of the lowest body image scores around the world, with a third of all Brits saying they’re unhappy with the way they look. Lack of body image satisfaction interferes with young people’s ability to engage fully in their education and it is also a diagnostic criteria in common mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and, of course, eating disorders.
This is a discussion based participatory creative workshop aimed at young people (14 - 25) which explores body image, self-esteem and social media.
Participants will:
-
Explore what a positive and negative body image is
-
Learn how important the language we use about ourselves and others is
-
Think about their social media, how much time they spend on it, and how it can affect their mental health
-
Learn short accessible affirmations and mindfulness exercises
-
Discover the importance of curating their own social media so social media becomes a positive place to be
