Private Mindfulness Consultation

Private Mindfulness Sessions are available for those who seek a tailored approach. Each session will be specifically adapted for your needs.

Private sessions are facilitated by an experienced Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (accredited to teach by the National Register of Psychotherapists and Counsellors). The Mindfulness Now Programme is approved by the British Psychological Society. The teacher is a Registered Practitioner with the Mindfulness Teachers Association.

The Mindfulness Now Programme is a fusion of the world renowned Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programme (MBSR) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Programme.

There will be opportunity to explore and experience mindfulness practices to strengthen the mind for improved wellbeing and to enhance happiness. Each session will build on the techniques learnt in the previous weeks to promote development of self inquiry and confidence in practising mindfulness.

We will learn about the human mind through neuroscience and how to become an observer to our human experience to enhance wellbeing. We learn to experience the mind body connection, including the biology of the nervous system and what the optimum conditions for enhanced self-regulation, to reduce stress and anxiety.

Through mindfulness practices we can become aware of the automatic nature of thoughts and habits. We learn practices that ease the powerful pull of thoughts, feelings and emotions, while in a safe environment. Through Advance Mindfulness Inquiry and Motivational Interviewing techniques, you will be gently and compassionately facilitated to weave techniques you may discover within your mindfulness practice that work best for you.
