Worklife Mindfulness Course
Learn how to reduce stress and improve wellbeing in just 6 weeks
Interest in learning mindfulness continues to grow.
It's no surprise; being mindful has been shown to improve wellbeing, enhance personal effectiveness and increase our ability to cope with challenging situations.
Realising the benefits of mindfulness is more than simply being able to pay attention to the present moment. You also need to know how to use such a skill and that's where courses come in.
On this page
A course in mindfulness offers a means to not only develop your ability to be with your moment to moment experience but also to know how to put it to use in the midst of life's struggles.
But not everyone can, or wants to, learn in a group setting.
Whatever the reason, I can help you learn mindfulness at a time and pace that's right for you.
My 6-week, 1-2-1 course is designed to help you be more present in life generally whilst simultaneously increasing self-awareness and managing your emotions so you can deal more skillfully with whatever life presents.
Course outline
This 6-week course uses the Workplace Mindfulness Training (WorkplaceMT) model developed by The Mindfulness Exchange, a spin-off from the UK's Oxford Mindfulness Centre.
Based on an NHS-approved mindfulness course, this evidence-led programme combines psycho-education, mindfulness theory, regular practice and experiential insight to increase self-knowledge, awareness and management.
By the end, you will know how mindfulness can be brought to all aspects of your life.
Session content
In just six sessions via online video platforms like Teams or Zoom, I will share with you all you need to begin to benefit from being mindful.
Each week you will learn about different facets of mindful awareness, psychological principles and neuroscience research findings to help you to better understand the workings of the mind and how to bring mindfulness to life.
Each session includes meditation practice and discussion so you feel confident using your new skill.
The programme is designed so that each session builds on previous ones. By the end you will have a thorough understanding of what mindfulness is and how to use it in daily life.

Please Note: This mindfulness course is not designed to be therapeutic.
If you have any concerns in this regard then it is recommended that you speak to a suitably qualified therapist and, perhaps, learn in a clinical setting.
Duration
So that your ability to pay attention and your capacity to be mindful increases over time, the course is delivered in six modules with a different attention exercise (meditation) taught each time and practiced for a week.
It is designed to be delivered over a 6-week period. However, as it is taught one to one, the timing of the sessions is flexible and can be taught over a longer period if needed.
Your commitment
Weekly 1.5 hr training session + formal and informal practice (30 mins/day)
Practice is key, it literally rewires your brain.
If you cannot currently commit to regular daily practice then this course is not for you right now.
Dates
All my mindfulness course slots are full at the moment so I can not work with anyone else right now. I will be taking on new trainees in April.
As not many people offer 1-2-1 teaching, places get booked up fast. Get in touch now, if you think you would like to do the course with me.
Thinking you'd like to learn mindfulness?
I know deciding to sign up for a course you've found on the internet can feel somewhat risky. That's why I offer everyone the opportunity to have a chat and attend a mindfulness introduction session before signing up.
