As 2025 draws to a close, we want to pause and reflect on a year shaped by deep listening, shared learning, and purposeful growth.
Throughout the year, our free and accessible webinars brought together clinicians, practitioners, and members of the public from across disciplines and communities. These sessions reflected a growing interest in integrative, trauma-informed, and breath-centred approaches to both mental and physical wellbeing.
Across public health education, professional dialogue, research, advocacy, and community engagement, our work at Tele-Therapies has continued to centre one core belief: meaningful change happens not just through information, but through connection.

Together, these events reached hundreds of participants and sparked conversations that extended well beyond the live sessions. Repeatedly, we heard that it was not only the content that mattered, but the space created for reflection, dialogue, and shared inquiry.
Research, Writing, and Public Health Insight
2025 was a significant year for research and professional contribution.
In April 2025, a professional article by Devi Sundar, How breathing affects your mind, was published in the Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal. The article explored the clinical relevance of breath awareness in mental health practice, bridging neuroscience with therapeutic application.
In June 2025, findings from a public health survey research article by Devi Sundar on Awareness, knowledge and perceptions of pulmonary rehabilitation among South Asian communities were published in the American Journal of Medical and Public Health. This cross-sectional research highlighted critical gaps in awareness and access, reinforcing the need for culturally responsive respiratory and mental health services.
Later in the year, from October to November 2025, we conducted a nationwide public health survey examining mental health challenges among people living with chronic respiratory disease. This work culminated in a comprehensive report and policy recommendations publication by Dr. Devi Sundar, strengthening the evidence base for integrated care models.
Advocacy and Systems Change
In 2025, Tele-Therapies continued to extend its work beyond education into sustained advocacy for integrated care.
Tele-Therapies has dedicated significant effort to creating community impact by raising awareness among policymakers about the importance of integrated care. Our campaign, Fund a New COPD Strategy – UK Parliament, focused on integrating mental and physical health care for COPD patients in Gloucestershire. Originally launched in November 2024, both campaign continued throughout 2025, keeping attention on the psychological burden of COPD and the urgent need for coordinated care pathways that address both physical symptoms and mental wellbeing.Significant amount of time was invested in the follow-up with local MP and UK parliament on this important advocacy throughout 2025.
In November 2025, we launched a new campaign:
Recognise Emotional Breathlessness in Chronic Respiratory Disease Care.
This initiative highlights an often-overlooked experience reported by people living with chronic respiratory conditions—the emotional and psychological dimensions of breathlessness. By drawing attention to how anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress interact with respiratory symptoms, the campaign calls for:
Greater recognition of emotional breathlessness within clinical care
Improved training and awareness among healthcare professionals
Integrated models of care that treat mental and physical health as inseparable
Together, these advocacy efforts reflect Tele-Therapies’ commitment to ensuring that lived experience informs policy, practice, and service design—and that mental health is no longer treated as secondary within respiratory care.
Community Spaces: Breath, Art, and Belonging
Learning does not happen only in formal settings. This year saw the growth of community-based initiatives in collaboration with MindBody Synergy CIC that blended breathwork, creativity, and connection.
Highlights included:
Breathe to Think (July–August 2025)
Breathe Café, in collaboration with Mind-Body Synergy CIC
Breath Café and Breath Art collaborations (June–September 2025)
These spaces offered gentle, inclusive environments for reflection and expression—particularly for those navigating stress, health challenges, or life transitions.

Professional Support and Access
Alongside our public initiatives, we offered free consultations on breath and mental health to professionals and members of the public. This work reflects our continued belief that access, equity, and ethical practice must remain central to everything we do.
With Gratitude
As we reflect on 2025, we want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who made this work possible.
To our podcast guests, thank you for your openness, expertise, and willingness to share your lived and professional experiences so generously.
To our listeners and viewers, thank you for showing up, engaging, and carrying these conversations forward.
To all those who participated in our public health surveys, we are deeply grateful for your time, trust, and insight.
And to our supporters, collaborators, and community partners, thank you for standing with us and believing in integrated, compassionate approaches to health.
This year has reaffirmed what we have always known: meaningful change is collective. We are grateful to be walking this path together.
Looking Ahead: The Learning Thread
Over the last two years (2024 & 2025), hundreds and thousands of you have joined us for Master Events, free webinars and podcasts. Time and again, we have seen how powerful content sparks insight—but it is the conversations afterwards that shape what comes next.
The reflections shared, the questions asked, and the sense of working together have quietly informed something new.
In January 2026, we will be launching The Learning Thread
Created in response to the need for ongoing reflection and professional connection, The Learning Thread is designed to sit alongside our events—extending learning beyond one-off experiences and into sustained community. It is a space for therapists, practitioners, and facilitators to remain connected to the work, and to each other.
More details will be shared in early January.
For now, we simply want you to know that something new is coming—and it has been built with care.
Have a peacful christmas, nuturing positive mindset to welcome 2026!
With gratitude,
Dr. Devi Sundar
