Mission & Values
Calm is a human right – not a personality trait
Arlette Kavanagh founded CalmTogether with one clear mission: to redefine what mental health support looks like today.
After years of working with people who were doing everything “right” yet still felt stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion, Arlette saw a gap. While there were plenty of well-meaning services out there, too many relied on one-size-fits-all approaches that overlooked the complexity of trauma, relationships, and real life. And she had something to say about it.
Drawing on her experience as a therapist and coach, Arlette created Calm Together, a space where safety comes first, science meets soul, and healing is multidimensional. Her vision goes beyond traditional counselling. CalmTogether offers advanced therapies like EMDR, Systemic Family Therapy, Psychology, and CBT, alongside transformative group programs and complementary treatments, because wellbeing is never just one thing.
Our Mission
CalmTogether was created to make calm predictable, not accidental.
We help you build resilience through small, repeatable steps that last, anchored in evidence-based practice and delivered with empathy. Our mission is to provide specialist, trauma-informed care that goes beyond one-size-fits-all counselling.
We are different, join us.
We’re not generalist counsellors. We are specialists in mental health and wellbeing, offering:
- Advanced therapies like EMDR, NET, Systemic Family Therapy, CBT, and integrative approaches.
- Transformative group programmes such as Her Harmony and Glow & Ground for connection and emotional resilience.
- Complementary therapies like Red Light Therapy and PEMF to support nervous system regulation and physical wellbeing.
Because mental health and wellbeing deserve more than one approach.
Our Non Negotiables
Safety First
We believe healing starts with trust. Every session begins with care, consent, and a space where you feel safe to breathe.
Evidence with Heart
We believe in using proven methods, EMDR, CBT, systemic therapy, paired with human connection. Science guides us, but soul makes it real.
Empathy That Transforms
We believe in listening deeply and meeting you without judgment. Empathy turns isolation into belonging and shame into strength.
Lasting Change
We don’t believe in quick fixes, and just talking. We focus on small, sustainable steps that build resilience, so calm becomes a way of life, not a moment.
