Be Our Guest

Welcome to our ‘Be Our Guest’ page where you will find information about up-and-coming guest sessions and information about the speakers who have kindly donated their time to support others in our special peer support group sessions.

There are so many wonderful wellbeing stories and businesses in our community, we thought it was a great opportunity to invite people to share their experiences with our groups. Sharing stories, experiences, help and support is at the core of our peer support initiatives and our programme of guest speakers builds on this. It offers an opportunity to hear the stories of other local people, how their own lived experience has shaped their life and business decisions and often been the catalyst for big changes.

Our guest speakers have given their time freely to share their knowledge and experience in the hope it may help or inspire others, many have made wellbeing their business, all are passionate about mental health and wellbeing.

Our Guests

Joining us soon:

Trauma-informed Somatic Coach and Hypnotherapist

Carli Thorpe

Carli will be joining us for the Women's Wellness Group on Wednesday 11th Feb 10 -11.30am.

Carli is a trauma-informed somatic coach and hypnotherapist who helps people heal the emotional and traumatic roots of chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, addictive patterns, and limiting beliefs.

She came to this work through her own recovery from major burnout and life-long depression. Her work supports clients in cultivating the self-awareness, self-trust, self-compassion, and inner safety needed to truly heal, and care for their wellbeing.

She offers a calming, nurturing, and non-judgmental presence, grounded in deep life experience and a natural ability to hold space with safety and compassion.

💪🏼Not Just for Sporty People...This week our Executive Director Deborah stepped out and onto a padel court as part of our new partnership with Smash Padel Whitstable.As someone who openly admits to not being particularly sporty, and who understands the nerves that can come with trying something new, she wasn’t quite sure what to expect. But a few regulars could attend this week so she was invited to join.What followed was an hour of laughter, encouragement, movement and connection.Our latest blog shares her honest experience of joining the session, overcoming those first-day nerves, and discovering that exercise doesn’t have to mean gyms, pressure or competition. Sometimes it can simply be about having fun, meeting people and giving yourself permission to try something different.A huge thank you to Marianne and the team at Smash Padel for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment @smashpadel_whitstable @kenttennis Read the full story on our website 👇Link in comments and bio#moveforyourmood #SmashPadel #Whitstable #MentalHealth ...
