| THERAPY ROOMS Looking at potential new rooms for 2024 Our directors, Chris & Charlie, have been busy viewing a few properties that might be suitable for some new Balanced Minds therapy rooms in 2024. We definitely weren’t expecting to end up in hard hats at viewing number 3! Not a usual day at the office for us, so we couldn’t resist a quick selfie. Our therapy rooms are currently in London Victoria, King’s Cross, and Edinburgh. For more information, see our website page: ‘compassion focused therapy’. |

| RESEARCH Research review 2023 As scientist-practitioners, we are always seeking to research, understand, and improve how we help people with mental health and wellbeing. This year we’ve been involved with a range of projects investigating, amongst other things, self-compassion, CFT, and compassionate mind training. Here is a selection of our work published in 2023. Thank you so much to all our wonderful scientific collaborators and co-authors - let’s go again in 2024! |
