Compassionate Conversations Workshops

Online Workshop Series

Join Kate James, coach and mindfulness teacher and Catherine Morey-Nase, clinical psychologist in this series of online 90-minute workshops where we’ll discuss how to create a greater sense of self-awareness and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Drawing on principles from mindfulness, self-compassion, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems and positive psychology, Catherine and Kate will share insights into the changes that have been most transformative for themselves and their clients.

Across the course of the year, we’ll be exploring how to set intentions; how to embrace your sensitivity; how to practice greater self-kindness and how to set boundaries in a thoughtful and considerate way.

In each of these 90-minute workshops you will:

– get to know yourself a little more deeply

– learn to listen more closely to what your heart is telling you

– learn practical tips to help you move forward

– believe that you’re ok, exactly as you are.

“Such gratitude to Kate and Catherine.”
