We're not a counselling service, but our aim is to share ideas, experiences and challenges, making it a perfect opportunity to connect, relax and enjoy a bit of downtime. It’s more than just tea! You can come once, to every session or just drop in whenever you can. Together we’ll sip, share and find strength in one another.
