Hi, I'm Clare..
I am a teacher and trainer of Mental Wellbeing Courses . I am a fully qualified Mindfulness and Breathwork teacher/coach, passionate about helping people reduce stress, enhance wellbeing, and live more fully in the present moment. I deliver a variety of Mindfulness-Based courses and Breathwork courses as well as many wellbeing workshops tailored to the needs of adults in the community, young people and staff in schools, workplace teams, and 1-2-1 clients.
I trained as a Secondary teacher back in 1994 at the University of Strathclyde teaching History and Modern Studies. I then trained as a Guidance teacher gaining a PG Dip in Guidance and Pastoral Care in 1999. I taught for over 12 years in Scotland as a PT Guidance teacher and moved to Wales and worked as a Headteacher of a PRU and mvoed to an inner city mainstream school in Cardiff for 12 years as a Head of School- KS3 and 4 for Pupil Development and Wellbeing.
I left teaching in 2015 and set up as a freelance educational consultant focusing on mental wellbeing for children, young people, staff in schools and adults in the community.
I have an MSc in Psychological Research and Practice in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy from the University of Exeter and am BAMBA registered, ensuring the highest standards of professional practice.
In January 2026, I completed my training as a Breathwork Coach, and registered with the International Breathwork Foundation. I also trained as a Joimove dance instructor and I now offer classes combining Mindfulness, Breathwork, and Joimove Dance, bringing together mind-body practices for holistic wellbeing.
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.
