Welcome to The Affinity Project: a place to discover, connect and belong. In a world of noise, expectations, comparison and conditioning, we guide people towards (re)discovering their innate capacity to live with presence and purpose.

We offer 1-1 sessions for anyone wishing to explore a deeper connection to their inner world, patterns and parts; a signature Rite of Passage programme for 18-30s; and a range of corporate and education workshops.

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.

We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”

Desmond Tutu

Our Beliefs

The pace and demands of modern life disconnects us from ourselves and each other.
The relationship you have with yourself determines how you engage with and respond to life.
Lasting transformation or change requires the integration of mind and body.
True wellbeing isn’t adding in more ‘stuff’ to do. It includes stripping back, self-inquiry and connection.
Preventative over curative; most people have to hit crisis point before accessing support or education that, if integrated earlier, could be life changing.

Our Values

Interconnection

However you engage with The Affinity Project, you’ll belong to a community that cares about you.

Innovation

We integrate neuroscience and evidence-based strategies with holistic techniques that actually work. Complex ideas are broken down into accessible and practical solutions.

Integrity

Expect a down-to-earth style rooted in compassion and respect. The work is built on an ethical, trauma-informed foundation that celebrates equality and diversity.

Individual

Nothing is more important to us than your needs. Materials and sessions are tailored for you to work in your own way and at your own pace. We aim to help you recognise your own unique brilliance and to recognise the same in others.

Inspiration

The programmes, content and exercises are designed to inspire and empower you to take the lead, trust your intuition and make positive contributions to the world.

Our Approach

Our commitment to helping people find meaning and peace within themselves is supported by years of working with a diverse set of clients, ranging from educational and corporate settings to prisons, charities and children’s residential homes. Our methods are influenced by iRest (Integrative Restoration) meditation, Therapeutic Coaching, Somatic Coaching and the Arts.
