There will also be time afterwards to gently ground, reflect and integrate your experience.Whether you're new to breathwork or have experienced it before, you're welcome to work at your own pace and within your own limits.Thursday 15 October · 7pmJourney to the Inner ChildA gentle exploration of the younger parts of ourselves and the experiences, feelings and needs that may still influence us today.Through guided reflection, meditation and Conscious Connected Breathwork, we'll create space to connect with these parts of ourselves with curiosity and compassion.Thursday 29 October · 7pmGrief, Loss & Unmet NeedsGrief isn't only about bereavement. We can experience grief around relationships, opportunities, identities, hopes and the things we needed but didn't receive.This session offers space to gently explore grief, loss and unmet needs through reflection, meditation and Conscious Connected Breathwork.Thursday 12 November · 7pmInner Wisdom, Clarity & IntegrationA chance to slow down, turn inward and listen to your own inner wisdom.We'll explore clarity, insight and integration, creating space to reflect on whatever you may have discovered or experienced — whether you've attended the previous sessions or are joining for the first time.What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?Conscious Connected Breathwork is a rhythmic breathing practice where the inhale and exhale flow continuously, without pauses between them.The practice can help you become more aware of your body, emotions and inner experience. Some people experience a deep sense of relaxation, while others may notice emotions, memories, physical sensations or insights coming into awareness.Everyone's experience is different.You won't be asked to force your breath or achieve a particular outcome. You'll be encouraged to work at your own pace and within your own limits, with options to slow down or return to a gentler breath whenever you need to.What to ExpectEach session lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes:Conscious Connected BreathworkJournalling or other reflective exercisesTime for grounding and integrationOptional sharingThere is no requirement to share your experience with the group.

I maintain regular clinical supervision for my psychotherapy work and also take part in regular peer supervision for my breathwork facilitation.Alongside my psychotherapy practice, I'm a trained breathwork facilitator with over 400 hours of professional breathwork training and am fully insured to facilitate breathwork.My interest in breathwork developed through both professional training and personal experience. During a period of burnout and fatigue, breathing practices played an important role in helping me restore balance and reconnect with myself. Conscious Connected Breathwork also gave me a way to explore grief, loss and parts of myself that had previously remained outside conscious awareness.Today, my breathwork sessions focus on creating grounded, compassionate, and professionally held spaces where people can explore their relationship with their breath, body, and inner experience.VenueSt Maryand St John the DivineBalham High Road London SW12 9BSJust two minutes from Balham Station.Investment - Price per sessionThe prices below are for one individual 90-minute session.
