About Me

I co-lead Sussex Mindfulness and Compassion Centre with my colleague Robert Marx. I am an MBCT teacher, supervisor and researcher with over 15 years' experience. I also teach adaptations of the MBCT course, mindfulness-based approaches adapted for under-served communities and a compassionate leadership training programme. I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist by background and now work for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust as their Deputy Director of Research and at the University of Sussex as a Professor of Clinical Psychology. My particular interests are in extending the reach of mindfulness and compassion programmes to under-served communities through research and working with organisation and services.
