The Power of YOU Women's Wellbeing & Empowerment Workshop

The Power of YOU - Women’s Wellbeing & Empowerment Workshop

The Power of YOU is a transformative women’s wellbeing and empowerment workshop created by Sharon Bull, founder of Compassionate Voices CIC. Inspired by over 30 years of lived experience with mental health challenges, Sharon has developed a therapeutic, creative, and deeply supportive programme that helps women understand themselves, rebuild confidence, and move forward with clarity.

What Is the Power of YOU?

A small‑group workshop (maximum 8 women) designed to help you explore your emotions, understand your patterns, and reconnect with your inner strength. Each participant receives a 79‑page therapeutic journal that guides gentle self‑reflection and practical emotional tools.

How Does It Compare to CBT?

While often compared to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), the Power of YOU takes a more creative, compassionate, and community‑centred approach.

• CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviours.
• The Power of YOU goes deeper — helping you understand why you feel the way you do, while offering a safe space to express, reflect, and grow alongside others.

It blends therapeutic structure with creativity, peer support, and lived‑experience insight.

What You’ll Learn to Manage

• Fears and self‑doubt
• Past trauma
• What’s holding you back.
• Unhelpful habits
• Anger and emotional overwhelm!

The Benefits

Women leave the workshop feeling:

• More confident and self‑aware
• Able to move forward with purpose.
• Reconnected to their strengths.
• Less alone and more understood
• Ready to rebuild at their own pace.

Many past participants have gone on to volunteer, start wellbeing businesses, return to work, and rebuild their lives after trauma.

More Than a Workshop

The Power of YOU is just the beginning. Compassionate Voices offers ongoing activities — from creative sessions and personal safety workshops to guest speakers, social gatherings, and online wellbeing support — ensuring women stay connected, supported, and empowered long after the course ends.
