Anxiety Resilience & Renewing Your Mind
Finding calm, clarity, and courage to navigate anxiety
Anxiety is something we all face — for some, it’s a passing emotion; for others, it’s a persistent companion. The good news is there is a way through.
In this practical and hope-filled seminar, counsellor Richard Black will guide you in understanding:
The purpose of anxiety
How to calm and reassure your mind
How to train your emotional response and build resilience
Drawing on the wisdom of Philippians 4 and proven psychological insights, you'll gain tools to move from reaction to response, and from anxiety to greater peace.

Mental Resilience: Get Perspective in a Pressure-Filled World
What you think shapes how you feel, how you act, and how you relate to others. Yet so many of us live with a constant mental mess—negative self-talk, feeling overwhelmed, emotionally wound up, or stuck in obligations we don’t know how to shift.
The good news? These patterns can be changed.
In this half-day seminar, counsellor and author Richard Black will help you understand how your mind works and give you a powerful tool to clear mental clutter, build emotional resilience, and respond more constructively in life’s pressures. You’ll learn how to spot unhelpful thought patterns, shift perspective, and gain greater freedom and clarity.
