Mindfulness

Please note I no longer offer private Mindfulness courses. If you have previously trained with me and would like to check in with me regarding your practice, or would like a regular, or a one off session to discuss practice issues you are very welcome to contact me. I am still available to offer courses within an organisational setting-please contact me for further information.

What is Mindfulness?

Jon Kabat Zinn describes mindfulness as bringing your complete attention to the present moment. It is paying attention with a non judgemental attitude, and fostering an attitude of curiosity, exploration, kindness and basic friendliness to everything we experience.

One to one sessions are available at my home in Walterstone, £75 per hours session. These can be useful to use as a check in with your practice following a course, or if you have a practice and want to reflect or ask questions on practice.

I am have completed the Mindfulness Teacher Training Pathway Level One with Bangor University and am trained to deliver MBSR and MBCT courses. I follow the Good Practice Guidelines for Mindfulness-Based Teachers and am listed on the UK Network for Mindfulness-Based Teachers, having demonstrated (via an assessment process) that I meet the UK Good Practice Guidance for Mindfulness-Based Teachers.

“It is rare that I take time out for me to ‘just be’. This course with Tina has given me the tools to learn how to anchor myself and be aware of my breathing which helps me to focus my whole being. A fantastic 8 weeks with a group of lovely people, thank you for […]

“Tina has a wonderful capacity to guide a mindfulness session. She brings many skills to the work, and communicates her understanding and experience in a way that is always accessible. I know that she can provide the kind of support required to build a mindfulness practice.”

“Tina is a natural mindfulness teacher and I really appreciated her flexible approach and gentle voice combined with her in-depth knowledge. I learnt a lot in the sessions that we had.”

“The structure was particularly strong-it really felt like you were led through the 8 weeks-flowing well and linking. I really think the content/delivery was spot on! The support booklet is also brilliant!”

“I have gained a much deeper sense of who I might be. I feel much more grounded and in touch with everything, pleasant and unpleasant. Have gained an ability to deal more effectively with stress, instead of letting it overwhelm me.”

“Loved it-inclusive and relaxing.”

“It has given me time and peace back. very thoughtful trainer , kind and managed to give a group feeling.”

“Excellent! Fantastic tutor-very understanding and helpful.”

“I loved it! Really good knowledge and experience. Great at holding a safe non-judgemental space. Looking forward to doing more!”

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and mindfulness experiences with us. It’s been wonderful!
