What Makes Us Different
Kindful
Compassionate, kindful awareness for:
Ourselves: taking care of our needs
Our kin: how we relate to the people in our lives.
Kindness in action: our impact in the world
Let’s build a more kindful world together!
Inclusive
We believe that mental health education should be accessible and widely available. We aim for safe, adaptative spaces where people feel valued, heard and respected.
Collaborative
Change happens through connection. We work closely with individuals, communities, and organizations to create meaningful learning experiences. By sharing knowledge and listening to lived experiences, we ensure our training is relevant, impactful, and empowering.
Person-Centered Approach
We tailor our approach for individual needs. Our training adapts to personal learning styles, circumstances, and goals, ensuring skills are accessible and helpful.
Evidence-Based & Lived Experience
Blending scientific research on awareness practices with personal insight and expertise. Our approach ensures practical solutions grounded in both evidence and real life application.
Ethical & Trauma-Informed
We prioritise participant safety through screening practices. Whilst a trauma-informed approach places autonomy and choice at the centre of teaching, ensuring participants can engage in ways that feel safe for them.

Wellbeing
A Collective Responsibility
At The Kindful, we believe that wellbeing and emotional awareness go beyond the individual—they are deeply connected to the communities and environments we live in. That’s why our approach is both personal and collective, helping individuals develop emotional awareness while fostering meaningful connections with others.
