Mindfulness for Everyday

Lots of us tend to be on autopilot, caught up in the day to day rush of modern life rarely living in the here and now, hardly paying attention. We may eat and drink without tasting our food, arrive at a destination without a thought of how we got there.

Phillip’s Journey

After suffering a heart attack and undergoing quadruple bypass surgery, I found myself struggling with anxiety, stress, and the emotional impact of my recovery. Following encouragement from my family and partner, I decided to give Valleys Steps a try.

The Mindfulness and Stress Control courses gave me practical tools to help manage my anxiety, cope with everyday challenges, and improve my overall wellbeing. Since attending, I feel much more positive and better equipped to deal with life's ups and downs. The difference has been noticeable not only to me, but also to the people around me.

Course Reviews

Valleys Steps was established as a well-being charity to help people to help themselves. We promote an understanding of why things are the way they are and show how we all can take steps to improving everyday well-being.

We are proud that our courses are evidence-based and are delivered to the highest possible standard. Our courses are welcoming, open to everyone, are free of charge and don’t require discussion of personal problems.

The Valleys Steps team was formed in 2016 and is enthusiastic about being part of delivering this exciting initiative. We are a small, but very friendly team, who hope we can make a difference in local communities.

Our aim is to make it as easy as possible for people to take the first step to understanding themselves, to managing life’s difficulties and improving everyday well-being.
