Buddhist Counselling
Our Buddhist counselling weaves together psychological insight with teachings such as the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. It offers a safe space to explore suffering, confusion, and life transitions through mindful reflection, compassionate inquiry, and practical tools for everyday life. Rather than “fixing” you, we journey alongside you in understanding the patterns of mind and heart, and in cultivating wisdom, kindness, and greater freedom.
Buddhist Spiritual Care
Buddhist spiritual care is a form of contemplative companionship for those who wish to explore meaning, faith, uncertainty, or existential questions. This may include support around illness, loss, caregiving, or times of deep transition. Through listening, ritual, silence, and simple practices, we honour your lived experience and spiritual roots (whatever your background), creating space to touch stillness, courage, and compassion.
Yoga
Our yoga sessions invite you to return to the body as a place of grounding and gentleness. Through mindful movement, breath awareness, and simple postures, we support you to release tension, build strength and flexibility, and reconnect with your own inner rhythm. Classes are welcoming to different levels and emphasize listening to the body rather than striving for performance.
Singing Bowl
Singing bowl sessions use the soothing vibrations of Himalayan bowls to encourage deep relaxation and nervous system calming. You are invited to rest, listen, and allow the sounds to wash through the body, supporting the release of stress and emotional tightness. Many people experience these sessions as a doorway to quiet, dream‑like states and a sense of renewed balance.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy at Shanti Cabana offers a gentle way to work with the deeper layers of the mind, using focused relaxation and guided imagery. In a safe, supported space, you are invited into a calm, receptive state where unhelpful patterns, beliefs, and habits can be explored and softened. This approach can support issues such as stress, anxiety, confidence, sleep, and emotional blocks, always at a pace that feels respectful and aligned with your values.
Psychotherapy
Our psychotherapy offers a confidential, collaborative space to work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship difficulties. Drawing on evidence‑based approaches and mindfulness‑informed methods, we focus on understanding your unique story, easing distress, and strengthening resilience. Sessions are paced gently and respectfully, supporting you to build insight, new responses, and a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Meditation
Our meditation offerings include guided practices such as mindfulness of breathing, body awareness, loving‑kindness, and compassion meditations. These sessions help cultivate clarity, steadiness, and a kinder inner voice, whether you are new to meditation or deepening an existing practice. We explore how to bring these qualities into daily life—moments of pausing, breathing, and responding with more spaciousness and care.
““We must be willing to encounter darkness and despair when they come up and face them, over and over again if need be, without running away or numbing ourselves in the thousands of ways we conjure up to avoid the unavoidable.”
― Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life.
We offer a range of mindfulness and wellness practices designed to nurture inner peace and emotional balance. Each service provides space for reflection, healing, and personal growth — guiding you toward a calmer, more centered way of living.
Meditation Practice
Experience calm and clarity through guided meditation sessions designed to nurture presence, balance, and inner peace. Our meditation practice integrates mindfulness, breath awareness, and gentle stillness to help you reconnect with yourself and the present moment. Whether you are new to meditation or deepening an existing practice, each session offers a supportive space to rest, reflect, and restore wellbeing.
Singing Bowl
Discover the soothing resonance of Himalayan singing bowls — a practice that restores harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Each session invites you to bathe in calming vibrations that promote relaxation, release tension, and encourage deep inner stillness. The sound healing experience allows energy to flow freely, fostering emotional balance and a sense of peaceful renewal.
Mindful Walking
Mindful walking invites you to slow down and reconnect with the rhythm of each step. With gentle awareness of movement, breath, and the world around you, this practice transforms ordinary walking into a meditation in motion. It offers a way to ground the mind, release stress, and cultivate presence in everyday life — one mindful step at a time.
