Adult Mindfulness Courses

Neither could I! Some people call it meditation, others call it practice. Basically, you sit still in a chair, on cushions if you prefer, sometimes even lying down. You have a focus like the breath and simply observe it, whilst following my guidance. There are some mindful movement exercises, a few of these are like basic yoga moves. They are easy to access and require no specific fitness. These can be adapted to your physical condition, so everybody can take part.

This is the most common statement I hear, you are not alone! When I came to mindfulness in 2012 I was ferociously busy, but that is exactly why I came. I thought, I cannot carry on like this, there must be more to life. You are the most important person in your life, you need to give a bit of time back to yourself. This is counter-intuitive to how we are brought up, but if you are happy and well, you will bring positivity to every aspect of your life. If you are stressed, burnt-out or fed up, you will bring the opposite to your life, including to your loved ones. A bit like the oxygen mask principle on an aeroplane, you need to look after yourself first, so you can help others.

Mindfulness is a process, not a quick fix. Think of it as planting a seed, nurturing it, and watching it grow. It simply cannot be rushed.

Mindfulness is classified as Clinical Psychology—just like seeing a Medical Psychologist, Counseling Psychologist, or Psychotherapist. These services have professional costs due to their 3-year postgraduate training and expertise.

Home practice is crucial for success. If life is busy, this may be the reason you are seeking a change. We will explore strategies as a group to help you integrate mindfulness into your routine.

Life is unpredictable. Ideally, you need to attend at least 7 out of 8 sessions to grasp the full content. Each session builds upon the previous one—like reading a book.

Many people feel the same way. If working in a group doesn’t suit you, 1-to-1 coaching is available to ensure you get personalized support.

We schedule sessions flexibly. Missing 1-2 sessions won’t affect your experience, but if you anticipate missing more, we recommend waiting for a better time.

Mindfulness isn’t woo-woo—it’s backed by neuroscience, used by the NHS, Oxford University, and leading businesses. Even skeptics find it surprisingly effective!
