Who We Are

Our Mission – Helping people to help themselves

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.

At the heart of what we do is our passionate belief that everyone should have the opportunity to learn ways of managing the common psychological difficulties that we all face at times in life such as stress, low mood and anxiety.

Our Values

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. Anyone can benefit, not only those of us who might be struggling more at the moment. We value the work of other organisations and aim to signpost people to the best option for them.

Our Team

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. We always appreciate feedback and suggestions on how we can continually improve the service we deliver for you.

Anxiety: My Experience

I started to struggle with anxiety when I was about 10. I didn’t know what it was at the time (or for many years!), I just knew I felt very uncomfortable in a lot of situations. I would worry about all sorts of things. I’d feel dizzy, nauseous and a constant sense that something bad would happen. That made it hard…

Mindfulness for Men

Growing up in the South Wales Valleys you had to be tough, stoic, repress how you felt to survive and be able to fight your corner. Crying was a sign of weakness and it was considered masculine to smoke and consume alcohol and indulge in risky behaviours. Meditation wasn’t a hot topic in the club over a game of darts in…
