About Me

In 2008 I taught MBSR to 15 year olds in a comprehensive school in Brighton with KV. In the same year I started teaching MBCT courses at the Brighton Buddhist Centre alongside KV and Nick Diggins, and also at Evolution Arts Centre (Brighton).  I  assisted KV and Taravajra on one day retreats with carers in Brent. I attended CMRP (Bangor University) from 2007-2012 to train for the Postgraduate Diploma in Mindfulness Based Approaches.

I have taught mindfulness in many different contexts, face to face before 2020 and a mixture of face to face and online since then. I have taught MBCT to NHS staff, social workers, university students, school teachers and the general public and I've taught mindfulness sessions to school teachers and to school children;to adults who stammer (with Carolyn Cheasman at the City Lit, London); to adults with Crohns; to carers; and to people with tinnitus. I have presented mindfulness to a DSA Educational Conference in 2013 and to a Tinnitus Conference.

I trained in Mindfulness for Life in 2008 for the MYRIAD project (My Resilience in Adolescence) and have used that curriculum with NHS staff and school teachers. I am qualified to teach .b and .b foundations and have taught both in schools.

I qualified as a supervisor in 2017 and have been providing supervision for the MBCT in Talking Therapies project since its inception. I am a member of the Mindfulness Network and provide supervision through them.

I trained in Mindfulness Based Compassionate Living in 2018 and have taught MBCL in person and online. I trained in Finding Peace in a Frantic World in 2020 and also in The Present (2017)

I have assisted in the Foundation training in SMC (Sussex Mindfulness Centre) participating in teach backs and I have co led the Four Foundations 5 day retreat with Taravjara since 2020

I'm currently registered on BAMBA to teach MBCT and MBCL
