OnlineAbout Me
Hello. I first came across mindfulness in 2017 during my postgraduate course, when attended an introductory module of third wave CBT interventions, including mindfulness-based practices. The gentle, compassionate and experiential approach resonated with me from my first encounters, then I participated in an 8-week course of MBCT in early 2023. Later that year I had the opportunity to attend the formal teacher training (MBCT in IAPT) and started teaching MBCT under supervision. During this time, I also attended my first retreat, which greatly helped me to deepen my personal practice and become more authentic and genuine in my teaching. I completed my MBCT in IAPT teacher training in 2025. After qualifying, with fellow qualified MBCT-D trained colleagues I am excited to continue delivering MBCT for Depression sessions for the clients in our service. Currently we are planning to deliver our sessions online via MS Teams, but hoping in the future we can introduce face-to-face sessions too.
