What is No Hard Feelings?

​

No Hard Feelings is a free 10-week online course for young adults aged 18–25 who are struggling with emotions like anxiety, low mood, anger, guilt, or stress.

​

It’s the first step offered by the Wellbeing Service and includes:

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 8 weekly group sessions (2 hours, online)
📞 2 short one-to-one phone check-ins (15 minutes each)

​

You don’t need a diagnosis to take part—this CBT-based course is helpful for all kinds of mental health challenges that often overlap, like anxiety, panic, OCD, low mood, social anxiety, binge eating, and more.

​

What will I learn?

Over the 10 weeks, you’ll:

🎯 Set personal goals and explore what motivates you

💭 Learn how to recognise and understand your emotions

🧠 Practise ways to manage difficult thoughts, feelings, and behaviours

🛠️ Use simple tools and skills that you can keep using after the course

​

What if I don't like speaking in groups?

​

We use Slido—an anonymous online tool, so you can join in without having to speak. It helps keep things interactive and makes sure everyone has a voice.

​

Everything shared in the group is confidential. You won’t have to talk about anything personal unless you want to, but many people say being part of a group made them feel less alone.

​

As this is a new group designed specifically for 18–25 year olds, we’ll be asking a few short questions at the end of each session. Your responses will be anonymous and will help us continually review and improve the group.
