Mindfulness is about paying attention to what is happening in the present moment with curiosity rather than judgement. It helps us become more aware of our thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations, so that instead of getting caught up in them, we can learn to respond in a way that feels more intentional.

As a psychotherapist, I see mindfulness as much more than a relaxation technique. It can help calm the nervous system, create a greater sense of safety in the body, and make it easier to stay with difficult emotions rather than feeling overwhelmed by them. It can also bring awareness to feelings, bodily sensations and patterns that we are often not conscious of, allowing new insights to emerge and facilitating growth and healing.

For some people, mindfulness is enough on its own. For others, it can be a really helpful preparation for psychotherapy or something to practise alongside therapy. It can help you feel more grounded, more connected to yourself, and better able to make use of the therapeutic process.

Our sessions include guided mindfulness practices, space for reflection, and time to think together about what you notice. The aim isn't to empty your mind or "get it right", but to develop a way of relating to yourself with greater awareness and compassion that you can take into everyday life.

All sessions are tailored to your individual needs and based on goals that we will create together. The practices and techniques are chosen -or, where appropriate, created specifically for you - to support your own unique path of growth and development.
