This evidence-based course is designed to help you manage a range of common mental health difficulties. We recognise that challenges such as anxiety, low mood, and other concerns often occur together, and there is no need to treat each difficulty in isolation. This course is therefore suitable for a range of problems, including depression, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, panic, social anxiety, OCD, anger, and binge eating.

​

The course focuses on setting goals and building motivation, before helping you to recognise and manage your emotions. You will be introduced to mindful emotion awareness and supported to explore the links between your thoughts, behaviours, and physical responses. We encourage you to practise the skills you learn between sessions. The course is based on the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a recommended first-line treatment for many common mental health issues.

We offer two versions of this course, depending on how you prefer to learn:

​

No Hard Feelings

​

The original ‘No Hard Feelings’ course runs over 10 weeks and follows a structured, information-focused approach. It includes group sessions alongside brief one-to-one “bridging” calls with a facilitator. The course is led by facilitators who guide you through key ideas and skills step by step. You can take part using an anonymous tool, and there is no pressure to speak during sessions. This option may suit you if you prefer to listen, reflect, and learn at your own pace.

No Hard Feelings: ENGAGE 

​

The ‘No Hard Feelings: ENGAGE’ course runs over 8 weeks and is fully group-based. This version is more interactive, with a focus on discussion and applying skills to your own experiences and goals. Participants are encouraged to keep cameras on where possible and take part in conversations. You will be encouraged to contribute, but you can share at a level that feels comfortable for you—there is no expectation to go into personal detail. This option may suit you if you learn best through discussion, reflection, and practising skills with others.

​​

​

All of our courses are confidential, and there is no requirement to share personal details. Instead, we focus on shared experiences and symptoms. Many people find that being part of a group helps to normalise what they are going through and can feel reassuring. We often hear from participants that although they initially felt anxious about joining a group, it became one of the most helpful aspects of the course.
