 Course Options

I am currently teaching two courses: the accredited 8-week Mindfulness Now course (12 hours of teaching), and a 6-week course which draws on this (6 hours of teaching). There is also a 45 minute taster session which is a chance to experience some short mindfulness practices and see what it's all about!

 

The courses teach both theory and experience of mindfulness, with the aim of naturally integrating it into your everyday life, whatever your lifestyle. We will practice a variety of tools and meditations, helping you to train your brain to be more present, strengthening your resilience and ability to manage difficulties and stresses. It is also a great tool to make sure we get the most out of the good times too!

 

You'll learn the foundational skills of mindfulness and meditation in a supportive environment and will be provided with audio recordings of practices from each sessions to use at home. Both courses draw on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to deliver a practical teaching of mindfulness tools and attitudes, which you can bring into your everyday life. There are options for either in-person or online learning (using Teams), either individually or in a small group.

 

Participants are encouraged to practice mindfulness during the week between sessions, in a way that fits into their individual lives. This is flexible and can take as little as 3 minutes for a breathing space reset to 20 minutes for the longest sitting practice. Home practice between sessions can give a real sense of embedding mindfulness into your everyday life, much of it through things that you are doing anyway. The length of the course gives time to develop new habits and embed the skill of awareness through both formal and informal practice. The small group sizes mean that teaching can be personalised to the individuals in the group.

​

Included in the course price are daily mindfulness prompts for a month following the course. There is also the option to join my weekly £5 half-hour group practice online on a Saturday morning, which is for graduates of my 6 and 8 week courses only.

 

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any queries, or to discuss whether the course would be right for you.

Chronic Illness

The 8-week course can be a useful tool for those with chronic illness and fatigue, such as ME, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Long Covid. If you are interested in doing the course, but the long sessions are too much for you, then I can tailor a course to your energy capacity. Through personal experience, I understand. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss options.
