Human Values Foundation

London

We are an independent, non-denominational charity providing holistic values-related education programmes for teachers and schools. With over 25 years of experience, we share our knowledge and experience so as to promote better outcomes for young citizens, both academically and as empowered, happy, healthy individuals who feel capable of fulfilling their true potential, whatever their starting points in life. Not only have we been supplying practical, personal development and wellbeing programmes for a generation of learners aged from 4 to 14 but we also provide training in Values Education, an element in the school curriculum that is becoming increasingly significant as the topic of values becomes ever more mainstream and as the understanding of how values affect and impact people’s thinking, decision-making, actions and wellbeing grows. The intense focus on academic outcomes during the past two decades has been at the expense of many children’s mental health and wellbeing, and this has brought into focus the urgent need for a shift in education practices towards rounded, whole-child development. This approach has always been central to our work. There are few opportunities for teachers during their initial teacher training and continuing professional development to learn about the role of values in our day-to-day lives and to appreciate how they can be proactively used to nurture and empower individuals to progressively gain character strengths, social and emotional skills and personal qualities that are essential for their happiness, health and capacity to maximise their talents and abilities. This is the gap we fill.

My Friendly Neighbourhood Dance Studio. As someone who as been teaching and working alongside children and young people for 25 years, I genuinely believe I have the most privileged and fun job in the world. Being an educator and innovator through dance and movement has not always been straightforward; however, the rewards have always far outweighed any struggles. Simply seeing a kid dart across the floor smiling, creating a silly move, or an aspiring dancer suddenly find their confidence to shine. Priceless. Teaching and nurturing the next generation is a responsibility I don’t take for granted. These dancers are someone’s son or daughter, and it’s a teachers job to guide them and do right by them. I’ve always seen teaching as a two way learning stream; me teaching and inspiring the dancers, and in return the dancers inspiring and teaching me. Over the years, I’ts been a blessing to have met and worked alongside talented young people and professionals and been involved in some unforgetable creative projects and performances. These life changing experiences drive me to keep creating and sharing this energy with other children and young people. Having to evolve, think on one's feet and reflect on how to approach a project, a personality, or simply, how best to deliver the next class is an educator's creative responsibility. Being a dancer and teacher taught me to be innovative, present, and reflective and surrounded me with laughter and creativity. All of the above is not only positive for my mental health and well-being but reflected in the children, young people, and now adults I teach at Smikle Dance Studio. My vision for Smikle Dance Studio was to create a friendly and welcoming space where my personality and body of work could continue to flourish and grow. I feel like my studio is me. My years of experience as a dancer, performer and teacher blend into one environment shared with the local community, my SYD dancers, my fantastic team and my professional teachers.

Liz is passionate about supporting and empowering people to move through areas of restriction in their lives. When we are recognised, witnessed, and understood as individuals, in a safe, non-judgemental space, we can integrate all the strengths and vulnerabilities we encompass. Experiencing a compassionate relationship is a foundation to be able to identify, feel and heal the challenges you face, be the best version of yourself, whatever that may look like, and thrive.   Liz Lilley is a Humanistic Psychotherapist, Massage Therapist and Breathwork Facilitator. She also  provides Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy on Clinical Trials using psilocybin in the UK, integrating her professional experience from all her passions into her therapeutic practice. After many years of working with the body and witnessing the somatic release of trauma Liz went on to study psychotherapy in order to bring her knowledge of the mind-body in line with her experiences.  She has supported thousands of people through bodywork and counselling yet felt there was a missing piece of the puzzle to her offerings. Then she discovered simple and powerful breathwork techniques, had some deeply profound personal experiences and went on to become a trained Breathwork Facilitator, completing the puzzle.  Liz now holds group and one-to-one sessions online and in-person combining these practices to enhance the healing potential of unifying Body, Mind and Breath. Liz has an ongoing interest in expanded states including breathwork, meditation, psychedelics and shamanic journeying as tools and openings that enhance self-awareness, creativity, connection and therapeutic release. Her experiences in these practices have informed her focus on the integration of her client’s exploration into the Body, Mind and Breath.  She believes that with focus, intention and integration we can prolong the benefits of the work we do on ourselves. Liz has held sharing circles, worked in young people’s mental health and with refugees and has supported people who have experienced domestic abuse and homelessness. Liz developed a special interest in working as a Psychedelic-Integration Psychotherapist and is on the Advisory Board and is the Project Lead for Growthful Networks, the community area for the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy as well as a registered practitioner on their database. She has also faciltated breathwork sessions for the therapists training for the DMT for Depression clinical trial and provides Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy on clinical trial research for psilocybin for mental health conditions.

MY PHILOSOPHY I'm passionate about how the therapeutic relationship can facilitate insight and believe in the human capacity for change. My philosophy is that every person has worth, the right to decide their own future and a person should feel safe and secure in order to explore their sense of self. If a person is provided with the right conditions for growth - they'll always move towards change The type of therapy I offer is relational, person-focussed and yet challenging – meaning I work with a wide variety of presenting issues. I have worked with a diversity of clients and mental health concerns - predominantly age 16+, experiencing anxiety, low mood, depression, trauma, grief, loneliness or difficulties in interpersonal relationships. I believe that through understanding how you are in the world, you can create a greater self-awareness and understanding for self and other. I describe myself as fascinated by the stories people tell themselves & of themselves, and the affect of interpersonal relationships. Alongside being a psychotherapist, I’m also an EMDR Therapist. EMDR (Eye movement desensitisation & reprocessing) is now part of WHO & NICE guidelines and part of the suite of therapies offered by the NHS. To find out more about this option, and how it aligns with my own way of working, you can find information here. About me “Originally heralding from the Midlands, I made Brighton my hometown over a decade ago. It’s where I became a wife and mother, & both of those events are what propelled me into therapy! “Yet, my transition into motherhood meant having to navigate the loss of my identity - reflecting on how I was raised (and if I wanted to raise my own children in the same manner). Coupled with the expectations I felt society placed upon me, a growing sense of anxiety, and how my relationship with my partner shifted and evolved, I turned to personal therapy to help me understand my Self on a deeper level. It is through my continuing personal development that I have broadened my social and political awareness, and why I incorporate aspects of feminist therapy into my work”
