About Me

I have practiced mindfulness meditation since the early 1980's and taught meditation as part of my work as a psychotherapist since 2010. I qualified as a teacher of MBCT in 2019, and have also undertaken specific training in mindfulness for life, and MBSR. I have also undertaken mindful self compassion training. In my work as a psychotherapist, I use mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, EMDR; and I am trained in compassion focused therapy. As well as teaching mindfulness, I have a daily mindfulness practice which informs all of my teaching. In order to deepen my practice and personal experience of mindfulness, I have been on numerous silent retreats, the majority of which were 7 days in length. My teaching of mindfulness has mainly been in a clinical setting, however I have also taught in workplace settings and to the general public. I teach mindfulness online, face-to-face or as a hybrid of both mediums if that is helpful.
