Hi, I'm Clare..
​
I can help you integrate mindfulness into your daily life, reduce stress and anxiety, and cultivate an inner sense of happiness, joy, and equanimity.
I'm a freelance Mindfulness and Wellbeing teacher/trainer, teaching for over 30 years! I have trained to teach a variety of Mindfulness-Based courses to meet the needs of different people, including adults in the community, staff and young people in schools, staff in workplace settings or 1-2-1 sessions.
I am a fully qualified Mindfulness teacher with an MSc in Psychological Research and Practice in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy from the University of Exeter and BAMBA registered.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the moment -to - moment awareness that is cultivated by tuning into your body sensations and breath purposefully paying attention in a non-judgmental way, to what is going on in your body and mind, and in the world around you right now. By doing this we waken up to our thoughts and can choose to respond to our emotions in a more skilful manner rather than reacting impulsively. Mindfulness is a practice that takes time to cultivate and that is why most Mindfulness-based courses are 8 weeks long. Clinical evidence from Random Control Trials has proven that a regular mindfulness practice is helpful in managing pain reducing stress, anxiety and depression.
Mindfulness offers a way of reducing stress and preventing low mood, it also has the potential to improve the way we live, helping us to flourish and experience a deeper sense of joy, contentment and resilience.
