About Us
We’re a team of individuals working in and around London and home,
with a passion for understanding and accepting ourselves
and helping others do the same.
We’ve lived, we’ve worked – in tech, sales, law, marketing, at ASOS, Dentons, Barclays to name a few – and we all have our own life stories to tell. We’ve explored them in therapy and discovered how the process of self-discovery opened up our minds and worlds. We’re where we want to be in life, at least for now, and want to help others create the life they want too.
We exist to help people reach their true potential.
Mental health has been misunderstood and stigmatised for centuries. We’re working to change this – helping people develop, be well and thrive.
To change the world we must change ourselves.
The world is made up of individuals, who form groups and make up the rules. As Ghandi said, “If you want to change the world, start with yourself”.
How do we change?
Through a process of self-reflection, learning and experiencing a new way of relating.
We were all born ok and full of our unique potential. Then our experiences with people began wiring our brain into a unique blueprint.
It’s our personal blueprint that we explore in therapy, opening up more choice, more joy and more of our potential. So we start thriving, not just surviving.
How do we change the world…? One person at a time. That’s why we exist.
“When I was a teenager a close member of my family was hospitalised in a psychiatric ward. From then on I lived in the shadow of mental health.
But it wasn’t until I went through my own life challenges that my eyes were really opened. I realised how ignorant I’d been about the mind, how little I understood. These experiences weren’t at all the medical “illnesses” I thought they were – in fact, we all have a mind just like we all have a body.
This totally changed the way I look at life, and I looked at our society and thought: “Things have to change. We need a new conversation.”
I started revisiting my psychology degree, studying the mind, training to be a psychotherapist, and along the way became convinced that we need to take the world of mental health into the 21st Century…
This was back in 2018, when relating online was not so common. I was having conversations about whether it was even possible to have a meaningful conversation via video. Of course, because of the pandemic, we now know it is.
The Corona crisis though devastating has had a few silver linings: 1) It’s helped normalise the concept and term “mental health”, 2) It’s put it firmly on the public agenda, 3) It’s made video a fully accepted medium, opening the way for more affordable professional support, and 4) We’re here just in time.”
We see that the world works better, people and groups thrive, output and efficiency grow, and relationships flourish when as individuals we understand ourselves.
We believe that everyone has the power to unlock their potential by working on their self-understanding and emotional intelligence.
We listened to people confused by “mental health”, both the experience and the solutions, saying that therapy is scary, hard to find, hard to afford, hard to understand and hard to fit in.
We experienced the power of therapy to improve our life and work. And we reasoned that we live half our worlds online - tech enables - and can make self-development more effective, more convenient and more affordable.
So we created a way to offer everyone - people and organisations - a 21st century way to work on their personal evolution. The Circle Line was born.
We exist to help people reach their true potential.
We are working towards B Corp Certification.
This reflects our beliefs and how we run our organisation.
At heart, this is what we are and strive to be…
We believe self-development is a natural and desirable way of life - and that therapy is a key tool for everyone. We help make it so. From access to insight, personal support, our "Teal" company, to mental wellbeing itself - we believe in equality.
We work with dedicated and highly trained professionals and our workshops and Programme are based on decades of psychotherapeutic research and practice. We aim to lead the way in effective modern self-development.
Technology connects and enhances, but it can’t replace real people and the human connections we all need and that shaped who we became.
We believe in quality not luxury. No jargon. No exclusivity.
Because there are as many paths
as there are humans in the world.
