About Me

I have been teaching Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy since 2012 in NHS IAPT/Talking Therapies setting, alongside my role as Cognitive Behaviour Therapist. I am a trained teacher, having completed the CMRP Bangor University and Mindfulness Network pathway.
In December 2023 I left the NHS and am teaching mindfulness in a broader wellbeing context in the local community, whilst continuing to develop my MBCT knowledge and skills. More recently, I have been teaching mindfulness to older people.
Being lucky enough to live in Cumbria, nature is an important part of my own practice and I spend as much time outdoors as I can. I enjoy outdoor swimming, poetry and learning more about mindfulness based approaches.
I am able to be very flexible in my availability for teaching and supervising.

Supervision

I have supervised mindfulness teachers both individually and in groups since 2018 and particularly value the delights and challenges of this aspect of my mindfulness work.
