Counselling

If you are struggling with your mental health we can offer counselling services through a referral system which allows women to receive one-on-one support. We work with multiple counsellors to provide help with a variety of issues you might be struggling with and run this service throughout the week both in-person or online.

All classes are designed to be inclusive and supportive for all women to take part and find joyful movement to live a healthy lifestyle and take care of their bodies whilst having fun too.
