Kintsugi is a Japanese art form where golden glue is used to repair broken pottery, which then tells the story of the item, making a feature of its brokenness and creating greater beauty in its uniqueness. As a Kintsugi Team, we believe that our stories can be told with acceptance and grace helping us to heal wounds and find treasure in life's scars.
This eleven-week course covers topics such as anxiety, depression, anger, guilt and shame, disappointment and loss, perfectionism, resilience, self-acceptance, healthy relationships and forgiveness. It is aimed at people who desire to learn more about the role of emotional wellbeing in their own lives and gain practical tools and techniques to enhance their enjoyment of life. It is not a replacement for therapy or mental health services and is not suitable for anyone currently in a mental health crisis.

There is no parking available however there is car parks locally and in the evening some of the residential roads are available for parking. The Manor Place bus stop is 1 minute walk from 1C Manor place, Sutton, SM14BB. The groups run above TazZa Coffee shop. There is a blue door on the side, please buzz and wait to be let in. There is steep steps up to the first floor where the group takes place.
I am very impressed with the programme and resources and with the team leading the sessions. It is such a brilliant course that I want to do it again.
