Want to feel happier, have more energy, gain confidence, enjoy better relationships, feel less stressed and develop skills to deal with life’s challenges? Join a Living Life to the Full course!

Living Life to the Full is based on the Five Areas Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model as developed by Dr. Chris Williams – an expert and trainer in CBT and Emeritus Professor in Psychosocial Psychiatry.

This insightful approach teaches that all the things we experience, think, feel and do are interconnected. Just as an event, thought, feeling, behaviour or physical symptom can start a chain reaction that gets us down, so we can reverse the process and use this interconnection to rebuild happiness.

Everyone can benefit from attending a Living Life to the Full course! The course is for anyone dealing with stress, anxiety or just needing help in dealing with life’s challenges.
