Mindfulness is about paying attention to what is happening right now, with a little more curiosity and kindness. It isn’t about emptying your mind or trying to feel calm all the time. It’s about becoming more aware of our thoughts, feelings and sensations, and learning to meet ourselves and our experiences as they are.

Not at all. You don’t need any previous experiences.

Mindfulness is something we practice, rather than something we need to be good at. I’ll guide you through the practices and you can simply come as you are.

You’re not supposed to!

Having lots of thoughts is completely normal . Mindfulness doesn’t ask us to stop thinking. It’s about noticing when your mind has wandered into a story and gently bring it back. 

There’s no getting it wrong.

Comfortable, soft clothing is preferred. Depending on your posture and how you are sitting, loose fitting or stretchy fabric may make it more comfortable to sit for an extended period of time.

Absolutely not.

You can practice mindfulness sitting in a chair, lying down, standing or even while moving. We’ll find what feels comfortable and appropriate for you.

Mindfulness is about bringing awareness to your experience, not forcing yourself into a particular position.

Relaxation can sometimes be a lovely result of practising mindfulness, but it isn’t the aim.

Some days you may feel calm and settled. Other days you may notice restlessness, sadness, frustration or a busy mind.

Mindfulness gives us the opportunity to meet whatever is here with a little more awareness and kindness.

There’s no perfect amount of time.

Even a few minutes can make a difference, you don’t have to meditate for a long time every day. I encourage you to find a way of practising that feels realistic for your life rather than adding another thing to your to-do list.

Mindfulness can help us develop greater awareness of our thoughts, emotions and patterns of behaviour. It can also support us in finding more space around difficult experiences and responding rather than automatically reacting.

People come to mindfulness for many different reasons – perhaps they’re feeling overwhelmed, struggling to switch off, going through a change, or wanting to feel more connected to themselves and their lives. 

You can explore the different ways I offer mindfulness, from group sessions and online practices to one-to-one support.
