HEROES Programme is an educational and therapeutic mental health solution. We offer a holistic, transformation-focused and trauma-informed approach to mental health recovery.
The HEROES mission is to support all our members to shine a light on, and shift, the beliefs they have created about themselves and their identity, in response to the conditioning they have encountered in their lives.
The Programme works to hold a safe space for all members to build a better relationship with themselves, their suffering, and the world around them, for effective healing and transformation to occur.
Within HEROES, we safely explore trauma/emotional distress and expose links to how the past might still be impacting on us in the present moment. We are forward thinking, rather than solely past-focused like many therapies. We teach, above all else presence with suffering and how to use triggers to heal.
Our HEROES Programme is radically unlike any other mental health service as we do not look to ‘treat’ or ‘get rid of’ or ‘fix’ anyone’s experience of suffering. We look to support people to learn how to be with their emotional experiences, work with the parts of themselves in pain, and build capacity in their bodies and minds to hold difficult emotions. As we firmly believe that this is also how we build capacity to hold joy, consistent happiness and peace. This non-resistant way of working supports healing organically, and helps us process past trauma safely, leading to a natural recovery.
We breed a culture of connection and safety, using interactive exercises and specifically designed thought-provoking questions for you to answer, and be coached via.
HEROES teaches unique, original, accessible methods and tools for you to use when you suffer, such as The Bridge of Self Compassion and our revolutionary SAVE Method® for inner child healing, which you will not find anywhere else.
Simply put, above all else, we look at supporting you to build your relationship with YOU in every way, and guiding you on how to create the changes you want in your life.
This programme is intentional, created with lived experience of complex trauma at the core, by people who have been through the mainstream mental health system and had a front row seat to learning what does and doesn’t work to heal. Read our founder’s story here.
Whatever reason has brought you here today, we would like you to recognise that just by coming here and reading this you have made a big move: you’re opening your mind to the belief that change is possible. We would like to affirm that transformation is indeed possible for us all, no matter what we’ve been through or the state within which you feel you’re currently living.
Our aim within HEROES is for you to continue accessing support, fresh teachings, and resources within our online network container following graduation from the programme, for as long as you like, with our subscription model. This is because we do not believe that mental health recovery is linear, with an ‘end point’ to get to where people are suddenly ‘fixed’. We teach that recovery is a process, a journey, and a collaborative one at that.
We are unique in our content, practitioner methods, ethos and aims. Our main goal is to reach as many people suffering as possible with our teachings, alongside advocating ‘another way’ towards mental health recovery by supporting the transformation of mainstream mental health services.

Outcomes from our pilot stage alone far exceeded outcomes from NHS Psychotherapy and Psychiatry (Source: PHQ-9).
You will receive a 150-page workbook to work through while on the programme. Within this, you will find all the theory that we cover, broken down into small chunks, so it is specifically accessible to people who have ADHD or may struggle with reading concentration, due to past distress. The workbooks are designed to be dyslexia-friendly, using cream-coloured paper and clear fonts.
Within your workbook, you will find journal prompts to use each week, for when you may suffer. The guided prompts and exercises will support you to stay within the HEROES learning container in-between sessions.
“We want to create a movement, not just a treatment”.
— Miranda Arieh, Founder
HEROES is currently delivered through face-to-face groupwork sessions within the healthcare setting. Due to demand for further wide-stream rollout, our team are now working on creating a self-paced online, on-demand HEROES container led by our founder Miranda due for launch late 2025, so keep your eyes peeled for this!
HEROES is NHS clinical governance approved.
