SHIFTwithin CIC is a not-for-profit organisation based in Kent.
We deliver accessible, trauma-informed courses, therapy & community projects to reduce harm & build resilience before, during & after relationship breakdown or domestic abuse.
Our unique & holistic approach combines gentle movement, mindfulness & creativity to provide whole-person support. This helps to encourage growth, improve well-being & support healthy choices.
We also work alongside schools, community groups & professionals to deliver meaningful, engaging support that makes a lasting difference.
We believe everyone deserves to feel safe in their body, confident in their relationships & connected in their community.

Testimonials
"The thing that I'll take away so much is the practice of SHIFT, that acronym. I already feel I’m doing that in all aspects of my life. Not just in my breakup but to do with my kids, my work, everything. I feel like I think about that a lot, so that's really stuck with me.”
“Holding, inspiration, tools, encouragement and comfort."
