Simple Consolations for Everyday Frustrations
It’s a question we get asked multiple times a day, and one we rarely (if ever) answer honestly - instead falling back on the standard ‘I’m good’ or ‘I’m fine, thanks'. But if we were to take a moment to think about it seriously, we might realise that, underneath our placid facade, we’re experiencing some surprisingly powerful emotional turbulence, crying out to be processed and becalmed.
I'm feeling... stressed, anxious, frustrated, angry
Emotional First Aid Kit
We know how useful it can be to have a first aid kit to hand. A kit naturally can’t solve everything, but what counts is that it is immediately present and at once highly effective. It contains what’s most urgently needed to contain a situation - until calm returns or more substantial help can be called for.

This is a counterpart to that medical first aid kit, an emotional kit that provides a set of useful salves to some of life’s most challenging psychological situations.

I'm feeling... desperate for a real conversation
The Confessions Game
With the help of a dice and some cards, this game asks participants to answer a series of questions around career, sex, money, relationships, family, gently inviting everyone to share important bits of themselves in an intimate and playful atmosphere. It guarantees that the warmest, most fascinating conversations won't have to be left to chance.
I'm feeling... in a relationship rut
The Couple's Workbook
This interactive workbook for couples contains the very best exercises that any couple can undertake to help their relationship function optimally. Love is a skill, not just an emotion – and in order for us to get good at it, we have to practice, as we would in any other area we want to shine in.
On Anxiety
"Anxiety is not a sign of sickness, a weakness of the mind or an error to which we should always locate a medical solution. It is mostly a reasonable and sensitive response to the genuine strangeness, terror, uncertainty and riskiness of existence."
