Join registered clinical psychologist and owner of Empowerment Psychology Dr. Missy Wolfman and ICF-certified burnout coach Clarissa Hirst for the first in a series of Winter Wellbeing Workshops, designed to help you maintain your wellbeing during the colder months.

Winter can quietly erode the habits and routines that keep us well. In this first session we'll help you to get ahead of that and set yourself up with some good practices and tools that will help you navigate the colder, darker months ahead.

You'll learn what the research tells us about wellbeing in winter, engage in guided reflective exercises, and come away with a personalised, practical plan to carry you through the season.

We'll be running two follow-up workshops on Saturday 6 June and Saturday 25 July. You can come to all three or just pick the one or two that work for you.
