"Ever wondered how you might stay positive, focused and optimistic in spite of the situation you find yourself in? Well, Andre Geel, a Chartred and Consultant Clinical Psychologist has some ideas that might be helpful. Over the last 10 years he has been working with carers in Brent, Harrow, Kensington and Chelsea, Islington and beyond - and has come up with a simple, yet elegant system of staying focused on the positive while being challenged by very difficult situations.
Using a combination of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural), Positive Psychology and Solution Focused Therapy techniques, he is able to help carers utilise their full potential and access their inner resources in their caring role. Through a series of small groups and workshops, carers can learn these techniques to help them face and overcome the daily challenges they face in caring for the one they love.
In this evening's talk he will give some background to how these ideas were developed, where they have been tried out and how his particular model has come to exist in it's present format. He will also look at the future of this particular approach in unlocking human potential and give some exercises.
The groups and workshops are fun, practical and challenging and teach a new way of thinking about old problems. They are engaging and supportive and mentally very stimulating. Not to be missed.
Tuesday 16th November from 19:00 - 21:00.Venue : Committee Room 2, Kensington Town Hall, Hornton Street, London W8 7NX. Nearest Tube: High Street Kensington.

NOT TO BE MISSED. This month's presentation will be facilitated by our special guest Siri Nirankar, a master in Yoga.
CREATING SELF-LOVE is developing an unshakeable relationship with ourselves, an intense oneness, because the Self is the source of love. It is in our actions and not so much what we do, it is how we do what we do. Love is strength. Love is goodness. So love cannot be exposed outside yourself.
Learn techniques to put yourself in a better state of mind instantly by Breathing Away Depression and Anxiety with powerful techniques. Experience some of the practices that will be offered on the forthcoming holistic retreat in the country. Come and find out more about the programme and take the opportunity to book your interest. Refreshments will be provided and information shared.
The meeting is taking place at Committee Room 2, Kensington Town Hall (Civic Entrance), Hornton Street, London W8 7NX. Nearest tube: High Street Kensington. For more information please contact Monique on mob: 0789 454 2241.
