The Thera-Sea Method incorporates three main elements: the natural environment, lifestyle and psychoeducation to improve health and well-being outcomes.
Understanding and managing health and well-being is a lifelong journey. The purpose of Thera-sea is to give participants the tools to start this journey. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes when it comes to nurturing your health and well-being. To set people up for success, they must first be equipped with basic understanding of human function, how the mind and body works and then what they can do to help themselves when they start to feel overwhelmed.
Thera-Sea is dedicated to taking an educational, science-backed approach to improving health and well-being. Company founder Katy Griffin has combined her extensive clinical experience, her personal history and recognition of the positive impacts of a holistic lifestyle approach to create talks, mental fitness courses and adventures adaptable for all audiences.
Why Thera-Sea?
FOUNDER KATY TRANSFORMED HER OWN LIFE FROM BEING TOO ANXIOUS TO LEAVE THE HOUSE TO TRAVELLING THE WORLD AND RUNNING HER OWN BUSINESS.
This lived experience, coupled with 14 years clinical experience working in mental health, provides Katy with a unique perspective on how people can take control of their minds to improve their health well-being in the long-term.
Thera-Sea has a proven track record in using clinical experience and a science based approach to improve individuals well-being. Thera-Sea is proud to have worked with the businesses both in the public and private sector namely:
PWC, Finisterre, Cornwall Council, Devon & Cornwall Police and the NHS.
1 in 6 people experience mental health problems in the workplace with roughly 50% of long-term sick leave due to stress, depression and anxiety.
Providing support to employees to improve their mental well-being not only creates a more positive work environment but there are also significant financial and organisational benefits too:
Less absenteeism – 28% of UK sick days are due to poor employee mental health
Productivity – happy employees are 13% more productive on average
Retention of employees – 61% of UK employees who left a job in the last year cited poor mental health as a factor.
Katy has witnessed how the combination of the natural environment, lifestyle and psychoeducation are key to transforming peoples health and well-being.
Katy has devoted her career to helping people with mental health difficulties. She has 14 years experience working in mental health as a specialist mental health nurse and clinical support worker in the NHS. She is also a qualified and certified in cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive analytical therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and lifestyle medicine. Katy has also worked as a Mental Health Specialist for Falmouth University.
While talking therapy and pharmaceuticals have their place in the NHS, Katy is a strong advocate for a modern day approach to managing health and well-being.
Having witnessed her father’s battle with chronic alcoholism, Katy knows firsthand the devastating effects of stress and burnout can have on your mental health.
Her clinical expertise coupled with her personal lived experiences and understanding of the impact a healthy lifestyle can have on your well-being, led Katy to create Thera-Sea in 2018.
Katy lives and breathes the healthy lifestyle she teaches others about, when she is not found in the sea surfing, swimming or paddleboarding she is in the wilderness climbing mountains, keeping fit or escaping in her van.
