We cause ourselves confusion and upset in our lives, which can lead to stress, anxiety and depression. Most of us have experienced these states of mind at some time.Using mindfulness, we can learn to break this cycle, switch off the ‘auto-pilot’, observe our thoughts, sensations and emotions, and come to a place of acceptance. A place where the chaos of life still occurs around us, but we are not caught up in it, and where we can learn to be with whatever is happening, knowing that there is now that quiet place inside us; our still centre.Having spent more than 20 years in a high-pressure career with an international legal publishing company, I have experienced some of the stresses and strains of the contemporary workplace. Add to that the privilege of helping to bring up a wonderful family, and I have a fairly good feel for what it's like to live in 21st Century Britain! I started meditating in the mid-1980s, have had an interest in mindfulness for many years, and have a daily meditation practice. I have been teaching MBSR and MBCT for several years. I have a PGCert in Teaching Mindfulness-Based Courses from Bangor University and have counselling training. I have an ongoing interest in the application of mindfulness in psychotherapy and movement, and have completed a three year training in Hakomi; teaching qualifications in Kum Nyé (Tibetan Yoga) and Hatha Yoga; a Certificate in Focusing and a Level 1 training in Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). I originally qualified in Person-Centred counselling skills and now also work with ACT, a 'third wave' CBT method. Show less
