I have a well established meditation practice and I go on meditation retreats on a regular basis. I have many years’ experience of helping people to make the changes they want to make as teacher, group-worker, trainer and management coach. I have qualifications in teaching, training, counselling, coaching and mindfulness, my mindfulness training having been undertaken with Enter Mindfulness in London. I receive regular supervision and adhere to the standards of the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teachers good practice guidelines for teaching mindfulness-based courses (click here).
