Therapeutic Workshops
What are therapeutic workshops?
Our series of short therapeutic workshops at the Chilterns Neuro Centre help provide targeted, manageable interventions to improve overall wellbeing and offer a solid foundation for sustainable health improvements. These courses are particularly effective because they empower individuals, enabling them to integrate strategies into their daily lives to help make improvements.
By concentrating on practical and achievable milestones, they help people experience quick wins, boosting their motivation and confidence. Our courses not only improve physical health but also foster a sense of accomplishment and control, encouraging long-term adherence to healthy habits.

We have several workshops taking place during term 4 and more information on these, including dates and how to book your place, can be found below.
