Hello and welcome. My name is Ian.
I am a recently retired NHS Person Centered Experiental Counsellor with x15 yrs experience. Training to also become an MBSR practitioner has helped me to grow in self awareness and so stay more at ease with myself and others.
My wish now is to help others to learn mindfulness and benefit from the many positive mental and physical health issues experienced.

Transform Your Mind with Mindfulness
Discover the lasting benefits of the 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course, designed to help you reduce stress and boost mental wellness.
Improve mental health
Anxiety and depression are on the increase in the developed world. These intertwined symptoms are a product of our minds attempts to stay safe and so cope better. Mindfulness softens these connections, reducing these affects.
Physical wellbeing
Some body pains and illnesses can be our bodies way of saying we are stressed. Regular mindfulness practices helps reduce stress on our nervous systems. Blood pressure and heart rate can also be reduced.
Emotional Well-being
When we are more self aware of our moment by moment reactions to life’s stresses, we create space for more options to appear for us. This has an immediate calming affect. We can day by day live more at ease with ourselves and others.

Empowering You Through Mindfulness Practice
Clinical studies using FMRI scanners have shown significant increases in synaptic activity. This is backed up by medical understandings around the neuroplasticity of the brain. Doing 40-70 hours mindful practises starts this mind growth. This MBSR course is sufficient practising to change the way your mind works, for the better!
Most challenging for me has been one of the central concepts of mindfulness that ‘we are not our thoughts’. This seems totally counter to our western minds! Our thoughts are simply our best guesses as to what’s going on, which are in reality provisional and constantly open to re-assessment and re-evaluation. Did we always think and feel the same as a child, teenager, adult or older person? Of course not.
