Designed to sit in the space between

“I need additional support.”
It adds a skill people can apply themselves, alongside existing wellbeing provision, not in place of it.

“I wondered whether the effects would last and whether I could reproduce the technique with the same results. So far yes, and I have used the technique since and it has worked brilliantly.”
“It gave me the tools to head into life's battles and be able to face them head on. Would definitely recommend. You can come out with a new lease of life, and two new friends.”
“One of the best things happened to me in many years! What an amazing experience for the emotional and physical wellbeing! Highly Recommended!”
Manse Core Group
Different experience.
Shared purpose.
Founded by Kim Dourish and Carl Dourish. Kim brings extensive senior HR and People & Culture experience, including global HR policy, organisational transformation and senior Diversity & Inclusion leadership at RBS. Her career has centred on understanding people, culture and the systems around them, and on creating environments where individuals and organisations can work better. She also brings a strong background in training, facilitation and wellbeing, combining practical organisational experience with a deep understanding of how people respond under pressure and through change.
Carl brings more than 30 years' experience working directly with people, including travelling internationally to work with individuals affected by some of the most complex and traumatic life experiences. A trainer, author and speaker, his work has included veterans, emergency-services personnel and people from a wide range of backgrounds and life experiences.
That combined experience has shaped the practical work Kim and Carl have developed together.
