Run by Mark & Brendan founders of Mend-uk
We see things as WE are, not always as they are.
The way we feel about ourselves, the way we are in relationship, the lens through which we see life is a belief. We hold beliefs about ourselves which stem from messaging in the past, such as ‘I'm not worthy of love’. If that was what we internalised when younger from certain experiences, then that will be imprinted in our psyche, and even if the messaging stops, we will continue to believe and reinforce it ourselves.
Any belief about yourself that you hold - can be changed.
We explore archetypes including shadow aspects of self, Jungian psychology, IFS & all of our combined lived experience to take you on a hero's journey of self discovery - one that you cannot help but be changed by.
New course booking in March 2025!
This small, in person, one of a kind course comprises 6 x 2 hour weekly sessions over 6 weeks. This is priced at £237 for the entire course, which if you were paying for Mark & Brendan's time as personal therapists is a bargain.
Please contact us to be approved onto the course as it does involve a deep dive into the psyche & will only be suitable for those having done some work on themselves already & who are committed to personal development.
Course Testimonials
Patrick aged 52
I am sceptical about self-help courses. I have been on many in my lifetime and not many have worked. To be honest I am not sure why I attended this course, maybe it was in the name “Patterns”, I love patterns.
The course had a limited amount of people, so it was intimate and after the first session I really felt comfortable and safe to share my deepest thoughts and feelings. It was great to hear other people’s struggles and obstacles and the reasons they attended the course. We all were very different and wanted to overcome and understand different things about ourselves. The course helped us all in different ways, but I can only share what stood out for me.
I’ve always known I have different sides to me but have never tried to understand them, I’ve always just suppressed them and moved on. This course has taught me to take a step back and identify my shadow self. I am journalling my thoughts, emotions and dreams to help me understand my shadow me and to recognise the patterns when it comes to the front. I realise now I am many things and so is everybody else. I am both light and dark and by accepting all of me I can choose what aspect is more prevalent, but not kill any side of me. Brendan and Mark were soft and kind and really opened my eyes to all the parts of me and showed me I can love all of them without shame. It is great to understand the patterns that bring each of my personality traits to life, if I know what is happening inside of me, I can better navigate myself. Sometimes I may need the dark, Sometimes I may need the light (I hope most cases), but if I can identify the patterns I can choose.
This course has had a positive impact on my life. I don’t have to feel ashamed or unworthy anymore. My shadow side is there to protect me and is part of me. I plan to keep on learning about my shadow me so all of my parts can live in harmony.

The Patterns course is something that I haven't really done before so I was slightly apprehensive doing it. With other members as part of the experience we all shared each week and this actually helped me to share a little bit more of myself. It certainly made me not feel as alone. I think some of the questions Mark asked were quite powerful and intense at times for me. Questions such as “who am I?” where a lot of reflection on certain aspects around this was required by me with the support of the hosts and my peers.
That period of time, the 6 weeks, was really helpful and it helped me digest my experiences each week in terms of what was going on with me. The course really made me get more in touch with myself. It helped me think even deeper around certain aspects of my life and perhaps things I had actually been ignoring. It helped me discover a lot around dreams as well and to delve deeper into the meaning around that. Whilst delving into this it was a really warm and safe environment to be around. I certainly felt held and supported during my experiences. It is a course I would happily recommend if you're looking to get more in touch with yourself. It is personal development and with Mark and Brendan, who are two fully qualified personal therapists, they have the trained experience to hold you in the space where I had difficult questions for myself. It is not an easy quest and you do have to commit. I feel fantastic after the course and I feel it “flushed my system” so to speak. I have taken away life skills which will stick with me forever.
