The Space to Breathe Social Hub is a supportive, creative, and inclusive space built to help people feel informed, connected, and understood. It brings together clear mental health information, practical tools, and real voices from practitioners, creators, and the wider community.
Before you begin exploring, I’d like to share why creating this space has become one of the most important things I have ever done. This library is dedicated to my parents, Susan Brown and Robert Brown, known to his friends as Bob.
My mum was a beautiful, caring and compassionate woman. From a young age she was diagnosed with manic depression and, like so many people of her generation, that diagnosis became the lens through which much of the world viewed her.

Rather than telling you who to be or what to feel, this hub is designed to walk alongside you, offering resources you can explore at your own pace, in your own way. Here, you’ll find an A–Z of mental health conditions, practitioner profiles, interactive tools, videos, creative content, and shared recommendations — all curated with care.
Our aim is to create a space that feels grounding rather than overwhelming, where curiosity is encouraged and support is accessible. Whether you’re here to learn, reflect, create, or simply take a pause, the Social Hub exists to support you as you navigate your own experiences and reconnect with what helps you breathe again.

July invites us to slow down, recharge, and care for ourselves. By staying hydrated, enjoying nourishing seasonal foods, and making time for rest, we can support both our physical and mental wellbeing, helping us feel refreshed, energised, and better equipped for everyday life.
Healthy boundaries help protect our energy, creating balance between supporting others and caring for ourselves. By recognising our limits and making space for rest, we can nurture our wellbeing and show up more fully in everyday life.
Love meeting with Maggie, full of life, which gets passed on. Always leave a meeting feeling fired up. She knows her stuff that's for sure. Thanks Maggie
Great therapist, a wealth of information and skills that she can apply to your life. Great help in navigating neurodivergence across many aspects.
I had life coaching sessions with Maggie at space to breathe and it changed my life! Our weekly appointments helped give me clarity and tasks set inbetween our sessions helped to keep me focused and driven.Professional but personable. I miss our weekly zoom calls!
