At The Optima Collective CIC, we believe that understanding ourselves better can make a real difference to how we feel, the choices we make and the way we connect with others.
Through creative wellbeing workshops, group therapy and one-to-one counselling, we support people to explore their thoughts, feelings and experiences, build confidence and make decisions that are right for them.
Our approach is welcoming, down-to-earth and grounded in psychological understanding. We bring together creativity, conversation and therapeutic approaches to help people make sense of their experiences and discover new ways of moving forward.
Whether you're interested in joining a workshop, exploring counselling or working with us to bring a programme to your community, we'd love to start a conversation.

Sometimes the most meaningful discoveries happen when we give ourselves time to pause, reflect and see things from a different perspective.
Our workshops bring people together in a relaxed, welcoming environment to explore emotional wellbeing, develop self-awareness and connect with others.
We combine creative activities, conversation, reflection and accessible psychological insights to make learning about ourselves engaging, practical and enjoyable.
Some of the themes we explore include:
Understanding our inner critic and developing a more compassionate inner voice
Recognising our strengths and building confidence
Exploring our values and what matters most to us
Understanding emotions, thoughts and patterns of behaviour
Developing healthier relationships, boundaries and communication
Building resilience, self-trust and a greater sense of empowerment
Exploring identity, personal growth and future possibilities
There's no pressure to share personal experiences, and no creative skills are needed. Everyone is encouraged to participate in whatever way feels comfortable for them.
We offer standalone workshops and multi-week programmes in community venues, schools, recovery services and other settings.
Our aim is for people to leave feeling more connected, with fresh perspectives and practical tools they can continue using in everyday life.

Collaboration makes more possible.
As a community interest company, we're passionate about making opportunities for emotional wellbeing, connection and personal development more accessible.
We work alongside community organisations, charities, schools, recovery services and other partners to bring workshops, group programmes and therapeutic support to the people and places where they're needed.
Our programmes can be adapted to suit different groups, settings and needs, from one-off wellbeing workshops to longer programmes that allow for deeper exploration and connection.
We also welcome opportunities to collaborate on new ideas, community projects and funded initiatives.
