About Me

A Cognitive Behavioural Therapist by training (qualified in Oxford 1998), I have been leading or co-leading mindfulness courses (mostly MBSR & more recently MBCT) since 1999. I include elements of chi gong, which I was authorised to teach in 1996. I have also completed Advanced Clinical Skills training in Compassion Focused Therapy (2016) and the MBCL training course (2018). I have been a student of Zen since the early 1980s, ordained as a Zen monk in 2010, and received transmission as a Zen teacher in the Wild Goose Zen Sangha in 2020. I lead a weekly Zen sitting group in Hove. When I lead mindfulness courses, it is in response to requests, and I prefer face to face.
