“Having struggled with anxiety and suicide ideation, it was a great watch learning how to get the "basics" sorted and how it's all connected”

— Anne T (Changing Lives participant)

“I was experiencing a great deal of change in my life and was living in a place of grief and trauma, experiencing anxiety and often finding myself ruminating. I was struggling to find direction, it was effecting my health and wellbeing. I noticed that I had just stopped taking care of myself and giving myself any love or respect. After my first session with Helen I was able to connect with my inner being again and managed to start giving myself time. Helen talked with me about some realistic goals that I could work on. Taking a holistic approach, looking at the whole person, taking into account all aspects of my life, and giving me practical support and advice.”

The Mini-Book

Your Mini-Guide to Well-being!

The Mini-Book is designed as a prompt to remind yourself what you can do when you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or a little stuck.

It’s short, sweet & simple and extremely effective!

“I love your Mini-Books!”

"…Absolutely fantastic”.

“They are so practical, accurate and user-friendly.”

“I have used them personally and professionally time and time again.

Highly recommended!”

Helen (Australia)

“I love my mini book, I'm an intern counsellor so its something I like to use as my self-care at the end of the day”

“Fantastic. Just what I wanted. Arrived promptly and just as described but cuter! I have looked at lots of commercial versions of this idea - this is by far the best quality and value. Simple, straightforward and evidence-based. Everyone is getting one for Christmas! Please make more versions!”

“After suffering from burnout and becoming very unwell recently the book was a simple but very helpful method of setting goals and planning the future.

I love the idea of writing down what life will be in 1-5 years, as if you were already living that life.

The booklet is thought-provoking regarding the things that bring you joy, (or not), and the things that you are grateful or thankful for. It doesn't take long to read through, there are quick tips that cover the basics of a good healthy life, and it's really practical. I thoroughly recommend!”
