Welcome to Watford

September 29, 2022 by

Thursday 29th September 2022

We were delighted officially open our new home in Watford on Tuesday 27th September 2022. Watford’s elected mayor, Peter Taylor, performed the opening ceremony at 24 Station Road, which was attended by many of our community partners in the town.

Commenting at our launch, Peter said, “Obviously you have got a fantastic facility at a great location and you’ve got a great team, which is a huge testament to the work you’re doing. Thank you for what you’re doing here, it makes a huge difference to our community.”

Our move to 24 Station Road cements our presence in Hertfordshire’s largest town. Thanks to the support of Watford Community Housing, our first counselling sessions took place at Meriden Community Hub in 2019 and then we moved to Harebreaks in 2021. During that time, we helped 168 people with their addictions and 49 family members. 

Breathe in calm, breathe out stress…

The Box Breathing Tool, created by Watford counsellor Yousef Kira Durrani, is a simple yet highly effective technique designed to help regulate the nervous system during times of anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or emotional discomfort.

By following a structured pattern of breathing in, holding, breathing out, and holding again for equal counts, we can slow our heart rate, calm racing thoughts, and bring our attention back to the present moment.
